Disconnected

DISCONNECTED

I called myself connecting to the wi-fi of life, for its claims of making it so much better

Faster downloads, GPS capabilities, better connections

I fell in love with this appeal, the opportunity to bring the world together

So I checked it out

Looking for gold pots at the end of rainbows and lollipops and the vision of everyone having a Come To God and Enlightenment moment, 

I found people at each other's throats behind pettiness...

Who's prettier, which is the better political party, my religion is the right hand of God, X race is superior, why are you so dumb, ditch the extra weight/the nappy hair/those clothes are so yesterday. 

No, I didn't expect perfection, 

But I did expect more open-ended dialogue, more positive discussion, more being open-minded, for people to not necessarily give up their beliefs, but not be so caught up in standing their own ground in being right that they lose sight of other people's struggles and beliefs.

Yep.

  

Life's wi-fi let me down

So I disconnected.
