Poem Artwork

Connected, but seemingly unconnected
The signs of dependence & loyalty will
never vary . . .
All sorts of serendipitous opportunities
will be delegated your way by a
computer terminal, not by some old TV
*Note: it will be interfaced to the back of
your head, make room, it's the latest fad
No more self-discipline - no more need to
sow your seeds, it'll be just like the dust
bowl during the Great Depession - 'Hey,
I was here first, move to the back of the
line! '
A thousand fibers will now connect you
with the same thoughts that will exist in
everybody else's blank mind - 'Can't wait! '
'But guess what? There is a ray of hope;
let your conscience and not some
electrodes be your guide! '
One departing thought - 'Connect & relate
the old fashioned way, through the School
of Hard Knocks.'


'2008' RLS

Wires, can't seem to make for a good hair day. I'll take the old fashioned way. Fantastic write. Entertains and teach.

Lance,

So true. We seem to be more into technology than humanity. Sometimes when you take two steps forward, you should take at least one back.

Robert, you nailed this one! We all need to re-assess our values, then open our eyes and our minds. We need to observe our actions and environment, and then listen to our conscience and act accordingly!
