Isn'T It Ironic
Don't you find it ironic?
Isn't it ironic?
As time progresses,
this baby boomer generation
has been exposed to radio, newspapers, magazines.
Each media touched our minds and ears early on
with it came inspiration and emotion
as the world was changing and evolving.
Then with education, time and knowledge
came the television, space exploration, modern technology
expanding personal computers,cds, dvds, laptops, tablets, cell phones.
Now, we are blinded, oblivious and drowning in its ease
and the lack of face to face communication
within us lies the desire to find quiet and escape this false communion.
Today, I turned off the tv, the radio, the laptop, the cell
to see you face to face, to speak and touch you
to find the reality that surely exists between us.
For a moment
Stop!
Stop texting, twittering and tweeting,
shut down you phone, close your tablet,
find your true voice
and speak to me, face to face once again.
