Poem Title:
Poem
'twas the night before any Christmas... And all over our any town, Lonely seniors tried so hard to forget, What life was like in a land long ago. When husbands or their wives were still living, and the kids were all still home, very giving, Today, that device called a phone, Is not used even though they are now even in cars? And families send you photos of them in bars? Or...places to impress we silly old elves! "Why don't they leave us alone and get a life for themselves." So off they go, these abled bodied-beings, Not even dreaming that perhaps one day, they will be ancient and alone, too. So, whether it's Christmas or just a plain day, pick up any phone you own! Say hello to the living,you cannot speak to the dead! What is wrong inside your head? Don't think a text or email can ever replace lovable you. And as for our"busy" excuses? I won't say what I call that. What, are you...a conceited aristocrat? Call your friend, cousin,grandmother, grandfather,Mother or Dad. Anyone that you care about. If not, it tells me it's you....it's only ..whom you value. These old folks in the twilight of their years, Must not be ignored, you never see their silent tears. Do people no longer care? They miss being loved and respected, And believe it or not, A dog or a cat will not make it for them. They need a human being,I ask...when? These seniors are terrified to call you at home or at work. In a world that over glorified technology, Where life has become one word communication. And there is no life on earth, Except living in the Facebook Nation? Worse, emojis are not cute, Nor, what does it say about you? And more horrid to me, when the initial of your baptismal name becomes you? It's sad..and as for automated replies? Are you kidding? An insult to humanity. None of us is royalty. Conceited, full of self, you bet. I don't know where the life I knew has gone. I don't even know where love has gone. We all morphed into Alexa's? I cannot give birth to the past. Just talk to my walls and stare at unwashed frying pans..alas! PanagiotaRomios 4/26/2019 2:15 pm PST
