Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Cell Phone Mania

Here's my philosophy for what it's worth

Not the first time I've expressed my outlook on life

The stress of modern every day living

Is showing on the faces of people in the street

All with cell phones plastered to their ears

Oblivious to the world around them

A cold breeze has enveloped our very existence

No longer the friendly greetings we once expressed

We're totally wrapped up in the complexities

That have been thrust upon us

It's an exciting age of amazing technology

The much more simpler days of years gone by

Are gone forever never to return

Each generation longs for their past

A feeling of nostalgia grips us as we age

Wishing to relive the exuberant days of our youth

But time marches on relentlessly

As I sit here at my powerful computer

Messaging faceless people in the four corners of the earth

Like others, I tend to forget this is an amazing age

But it's only the latest chapter

Of countless more chapters to follow

Our minds can't conceive where this will all lead

The only thing that's certain is progress

So be ready to be amazed

The future is filled with untold exciting new adventures

That our minds can't conceive or even imagine

It's a exciting time to be alive

Carol Eastman March 25, 2014 at 11:10 AM HMM... I believe that we're going to slowly fall off the precipice! Kids rely on things but don't care how they work... Where have all the inventors gone who took us to the moon? And they didn't learn he multiplication tables. Why should they, they have calculators,they said!... They don't care what the governments doing, and don't bother to vote. Why bother they spout! In short, the worlds' caretakers are taking a great big time out! Videos, twitter, and video games. Pleasure seekers them all. Jack Ellison March 25, 2014 at 12:13 PM WOW! 100% behind you on this one my dear Carol! XOXOX
