Gadgets

Village full of boys and girls playing
strong arms around waist romancing
old friends on porch with guitars singing  
merry farmers on green hills harvesting
not a bird on trembling wire singing
grabbed by hair like doll earth is shaking
rumbling lava torrents on city descending
burying under darkness encrusting
spitting ashes at planes faster than panicking 
anger of revolution once dormant exploding 
family tradition of unity unearthing
easy of gadgets virtual love ending.
Boys and girls again in village playing
tailor shops and sound of shoemaker tapping 
from complexity to simplicity remnant circling
fields of flowers dancing and robins singing
knees in gratitude bent marveling 
at mystery of Love life continuing.

Just like life, we don't expect something until it hits with power. I'm afraid we don't notice the warnings either. Well done.

You paint a scene of calm and routine to start..until earth shakes and eruption spews in anger.
