Epidemic Of Being Alone

Love has become a rarity

Not a common theme in society

Even friendships are becoming scarce

We are living in an era where we have

Material things but nothing of meaning

A place where sex is a temporary bandage

To cover a gaping hole of loneliness that marks all of us

Getting deeper the further we go on

With toxic patterns that separate

Our ties as human beings and instead

We only have AI for company

Regurgitating lines from old movies

This is an epidemic, that is killing us,

Through the distractions that we use to cope

With being alone, as we ply ourselves silly with drugs,

Hoping that things will change as we do nothing

To change this situation.
