I Am a Chameleon
The world is changing so rapidly
I feel like a chameleon who has lost the race
I am changing as hard and fast as I can
And still I get left behind in swamps of confusion
Our children are Cyber geniuses,
Clicking away in front of their flat screen gods,
unaware that families are supposed to eat supper together
grabbing a sandwich the next day at noon when they wake
Our parents have forgotten they are in charge
Attached to I-phones they think must be constantly attended to
Where are the listeners? Where are the conversations?
Where are the families? Our churches are filled with eighty year olds.
The world is changing.
Families have forgotten to be close to each other.
The oldsters are dying.
I am a chameleon, left in the swamp of confusion.
