Stories To Be Told

So many advanced modes of communication

The process of sending and receiving messages has become so much faster.

So many platforms to share.

And yet, we can't talk to each other.

In this global village, we are all alone.

Increasingly alone.

But was it always like this?

Don't we remember our grandmothers telling us stories?

Don't we remember stories of stories being told?

Back when people told their stories, because that's all they had.

When they sang songs with no words, because people could understand wordlessness. 

Did they know that we, in our quest to communicate, would forget these things on the way?

And now the story teller is fake.

He now has no story to tell, only a story to sell.

And the music is not about people

But about the things they possess.

Back when people didn't know what it was to possess.

When they shared knowledge because why should they not.

Did they know that we, in our quest to protect, would start patenting?

What do you do when you want to connect, in a world too fast to hold on to?

How do you talk to people, so that they might listen?

In this world of text messaging, I search for stories.

Because they are everywhere, waiting to be told.

So would you tell me a story?
