Notes About The Poem

There is life without internet, believe it or not

 

How Often

How Often
By Franklin Price
8/6/2019

How often did we dwell on things
Before the internet
Before it was as fast as now 
Not very much, I'd bet 

And what about the TV
Thousands of channels now to view
Internet is now included
If you're desire is something new

From Siri and our keyboards
From our phones we bring along
I think we've overdone it
We're in a place, we don't belong

For instant satisfaction
We can access anything
In this carrousel of life
We can capture any ring

There's nothing that's forbidden
Censorship is put aside
Even **** and terror 
Can be taken for a ride

Do we really have to wonder
That unstable minds are bent
And, driven by technology,
Over the very edge are sent

Technology that's available
Has many things to give
Take some time out, find your self,
There are other ways to live
