Hard of Hearing
I'm so hard of hearing,
from you these fine days.
But grateful for many calls,
in so many creative ways.
So many offers,
and surveys to take.
So much money gone,
in their aftermath wake.
But I'm not hearing,
from you hardly at all.
And you talk like a machine,
whenever you call.
I diligently input,
every word that you say.
Except on your Facebook page,
I zone out on when you prey.
With more ways to communicate,
constantly coming around the bend,
everyone's getting hard of hearing,
from their family and friends.
So, try to take a moment, slow down,
from your cell phone distracted day,
and give an old friend or family a call.
Learn to hear again in an old/new way.

I have come to the conclusion that the cellphones are the most destructive in human relationships that was ever invented!

Sadly true! So hard to stay connected and really listen to what another person is saying in this fast-paced world. I went to see family yesterday, but with the televisoon blaring, I kept losing my train of thought and could hardly hear them. I hate the tv being on when I'm with someone. I can't focus. My limitation maybe. Still, less is more when it come to being with another person.
Learn to hear again...yep!
Love ya!

Absolutely, Ron . . . We are all seemingly on the fast track to hell and back. (and back?) . . . The modern age is much too fast for a lot of us (me included). As many devices that we have to communicate we lack the wherewithall to actually reach out to those we need to.
