Confined to a Screen

      A mind confined to a screen
         running on fumes and caffeine

      Sight, smells, sounds, sterile become
         old age, like unto death, her victims numb

Today's addiction is electronics. I like the message. I wish you hadn't mentioned caffeine-now I want a cup of coffee.

this topic is my 'soap box.' Those mind-numbing screens are destroying human interaction...enough said for now!

Can't blame you, Sara. Other than poetry soup, I spend zero time on screens every day. Don't even use a smart phone. ~ Luddite Louie

A hellish concept i find in these lines..To every Thing a season.' We all come to our time.'
