I Couldn't Live

I couldn’t live without A/C Though people all through history Made do with fans or else before, They sweated through the clothes they wore. I’d hate to live without my phone; Attached to it I’ve somehow grown Though I’ve survived, let’s not forget, When it was not invented yet. I wouldn’t want to live without The wheels that take me all about, For without car or bus or train, I’d feel so stuck I’d just complain. I’m glad I never had to live Without appliances that give The means to keep us clean and fed, Allowing us to get ahead. I’m grateful that these things exist Though we can’t know what we’ll have missed By living in this current age Before the future turns the page.
