Notes About The Poem

Hieroglyphs and Holograms



Hieroglyphics
   used in old Egyptian times
      communication-
through symbols, signs, and pictures;
non-verbal interactions.

Ancient Egyptians
   interpreted at a glance
      meanings and feelings.
Symbols would stir emotions-
provide factual knowledge.

Hieroglyphics 
   exist in these modern times;
      new name- Emoji.
Used in our digital world;
pictures like smiley faces.

Just like hand signals,
   Emojis speak non-verbal
      emotions, feelings-
a whole thought in one image
enhances verbal insights.

Holograms- new tech;
   3-D visions, light-induced.
      Like feats of magic-
project images, not there;
visions that hang in the air.

Where will this tech lead?
   Like ancient Hieroglyphs 
      replaced by plain words-
will we reverse the process,
draw 3-D signs in the air?

Language of symbols
   holograms show more than words-
      images and signs
3-D Hieroglyphics;
expressions of tomorrow?
