5G Generation

 

Joseph Danoski

 

We’re the 5G generation,

With so much communication;

We walk and text, talk the tech,

Scroll the menus and hit select.

 

Digitized and pixilated,

Downloaded, assimilated;

Encoded, categorized,

Integrated, analyzed.

 

Overdosed on stimulation,

Living in a simulation.

We access each 5G App.

In 4KHD with a tap.

 

A program running in our heads,

With algorithms and embeds;

We are all facsimile;

In V3D reality.

 

Just faces in a book of names,

Strangers playing online games.

Living someone else’s fame,

Our lives defined within

Their frame.
