Make it stop

Ping, ping, ping, ping

The world will not stop pinging!

Gone are the days of handwritten anything

And only the home phone ringing

~

Emails, notifications, reminders, texts

Do they really make life easier?

Must use AI! Don’t fall behind!

Will THIS tech now be our saviour?!

~

Scrolling, swiping, comments, likes

Are we really more connected?

Or is it sensory overload

Leaving us all feel dejected?

~

Emojis, GIFs, memes, textspeak

Is this communication actually good?

Are we resonating? Are we aligned?

Or now chronically misunderstood?

~

Breathwork, mindfulness, somatic grounding

Why do we pay for such skills?

If pinging, scrolling, swiping stopped

Could we all just simply be… still?
