the barefoot bard Poet Rhyme

Dementia

BLUE  LIGHT, blue  light Oh I shake my head in horror
for the children of today and how they'll fare tomorra

BLUE LIGHT blue light emanating from all these toxic screens
dementia already forming in the brains of children visualise the future scenes

BLUE LIGHT blue light emanating from toxic on-line games
ageing is not just defined by chronological time frames

BLUE LIGHT blue light protection must be sought, yellow lens to prevent dementia
long time damage results in an incoherent state of brain absentia

Tom Cunningham April 24, 2026 at 9:05 PM Sad state of affairs Douglas, kids everywhere staring at their phones or hiding in their rooms gaming or on social media. I read that schools here in the uk are going to ban phones. It's a start, their mental health will suffer if nothings done. Enjoy your weekend. Tom the barefoot bard April 24, 2026 at 9:24 PM Good day Tom I appreciate your comments and support Great news that the phones are being banned in the UK.. This is the third poem I have posted re mobile phones You may have read them One called Nodders and the other is where do the children play which is about children hiding in their rooms .You seem to born in the same era as me How did we cope !! our phone was a manual handset on the wall out in the bush.
