Connected?

Feeling lonely as the night goes on,
I go on-line to find companionship,
But I only find out just how,
Much we are all so far apart,

We see each other in person,
Day after monotonous day,
But do we really learn the lesson,
Of what goes on in a person's brain,

Are they lonely too,
Or are they content or angry,
At the people they see as pools,
Overflowing with all they hate?

With the Internet and phone,
The world becomes more connected,
But we still are more alone,
Than ever before in history,
