End of the world they said,

Our phones and television would be at their demise.

No Facebook or instagram,

To spread their white lies.

Humanity would collapse they said,

Leaving people distraught and in panic.

Not watching their Netflix,

Will leave them immobile and frantic.

No one will know how to communicate they said,

An uproar will ignite.

Darkness will surround us,

And you will clearly see the stars at night.

Walking down the street they said,

Would put you in imminent danger.

But I sometimes forget how easy it is

To talk to a stranger.
