No Human Contact Wanted

Don't you dare call my home, I have no time for you. Instead, our information we give out merrily, To Google, Facebook and others unseen, Of these...there is no lack. Worse, we don't care if our cell phones follow our tracks. Nor hundreds of ad clicks, those monkeys on our backs. Clack, clack, clack. Add the government who follows your keystrokes. And cameras taking our pictures like paparazzi.! Google filming your home? Sometimes I feel like we live in the land of the KGB  or Nazis. But bent out of shape are we by robo calls? And never a thought how equally robotic are we, When we cannot leave our own voice, God gave us on own our phone. So relatives can hear that damnable robot message voice. Hardly,a chance to rejoice! As humans are replaced more and more,  I helplessly try to stop this and find it a joy to talk to a human in any store. If you can find one, not on a cell phone,that is, That's hardly a call for yet more  technological fizz. People still need to earn a living, robots do not. The list is long with those out of jobs, As we have become such technological snobs. Oh~ my God! Panagiota Romios 3/4/2019

Oh there is so much truth in this poem, but not all of it! But I won't go into it. Great poem! Blessings, Susan

Thanks Susan. We all see life differently. I have no corner on truth. I gave that up 35 years ago. Just sharing what I see, Love, Panagiota

Hi Panagiota, How are you dear friend - a great poem - well, if humankind is so naive, and if google continue to harass us we can all buy a one way ticket to Mars, if we qualify that is, as we might be already too brainwashed! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

You have penned the truth here; someone had to say it; we are way too much of a techno-society, anymore. Poets can speak out and I am glad you have. Well done.

Thank you for your comments. I have other poems Listed here in a similar vein. There's plenty speaking out online. But it's basically quashed. At least poets can speak out. Yes, I do get the humiliation that comes out that comes with it. That's Ok. Some get it, some refuse.)) Love~Panagiota.

So true! Dehumanization is advancing at a rapid pace and we, one after the other, are becoming islands! Lonely and alone! Very well written dearest, Panajiota!

Thank you for your words, Demetrios! Islands indeed! Capttives of technology. I catch much flack here and in the world for these thoughts. I appreciate your understanding of this issue. Love~ Panagiota
