Far From Paradise

A couplet poem about habits and the technology of today's world.



We all know it's true ;

we always get the blues.

We'll always pay the dues;

until we finally see the clues.

 

The ipad, the iphone, the video game;

eventually they all could drive us insane.

No need for true joy to be on the wane;

our habits, for sure, they really must change.

 

Nothing wrong with modern technology;

when used reasonably, a productive ideology.

The cell phone also, oh how it's misused;

it's quite like drinking too much booze.

 

I'm driving there, oh my, close call;

someone's texting, now I'm about to bawl.

Someday they'll eradicate reckless driving;

until then, it is so very disturbing.

 

It may be corny, but it's true ;

electronic bubbleheads, stuck in the stew.

A brand new device, but with no wholesome advise;

they call it progress, it's far from paradise.

Super poem! My favorite line:
"The cell phone also, oh how it's misused;
it's quite like drinking too much booze"
It's a habit that we all have to fight off
It's much like having a chronic bad cough!
How did things get to be this way?
At their age we would go outside and play!
I can go on and on...

Signing off...

John
