Masquerade

I know you-with the house on the corner, the one with the white picket fence
two kids, a dog, a mommy, and a daddy.
I know you, but you don't know me.
I know that after everyone sleeps at night , daddy has a secret life-
an online fantasy life-I know your perfect family isn't so perfect.
I know the facade you put on for everyone
To hide the pain and bitterness of a life that is slowly going downhill
I know that beach vacation wasn't as perfect as the pictures you put on facebook
I know the kids are spoiled brats because you don't care
I know you, but you don't know me.
I know the facebook-picture perfect family you show the world
hides a problematic family
I know all about you but you don't know me
I know the foods you eat, the gym membership that goes unused
I know the fancy car you drive and beautiful mansion you live in
Is out of your budget and buries you in a hole of debt
Oh yea I know all about you
Where you shop, where you eat, when you go on vacation,
The route you take to work every morning.
How do I know so much about you?
You'll never know.
You'll never know that I know all this information
With one click I can share all your personal information with the world
Privacy doesn't exist in this world
Technology reveals the world's masquerade

So this is my rant poem. I hate technology. Don't get me wrong it can be very useful sometimes, but its not worth the cost. It has damaged the family, our society, and children. Kids do not have the social skills they need. They never have to talk to anyone in person-it can all be done online or by text. Language skills are decreasing. Kids are forced to grow up to fast. This poem might be too cryptic I'm not sure.
