A Technology Fast

Turn if off! I told myself Are you behaving like an addict? Do you have to read your emails, look on Facebook, tweet a few lines, Play a game or two and while at work your lunchtime and breaks are Filled with personal calls and surfing the web Robots we are not We are emotional intelligent beings living in a world that have diminished Our attention with others to a text Sure all of technology is a tool for making things more efficient But are we so self sufficient that we miss the human element By becoming deficient? I see shoppers pass by others and never speak because they are engrossed In conversations on their cell phones and bump into objects and fall into potholes because their attention is focused on cyberspace Because of God’s grace They weren’t hurt But they certainly didn’t save face I’ve learned to take a technology fast At a certain time my cell phone and computers are off And my television too So that my personal interaction with others isn’t devalued
