Notes About The Poem

Omega

TECHNOLOGY ...

  Has made us FAR

    More fragile as a civilization ...

      The further technology takes us,

        The more vulnerable we are as a race,

          And the farther we will fall into chaos when

            It breaks down ... and it will certainly, someday ...

              Break ...





DOWN.

Darren White March 5, 2017 at 4:26 AM I love the way you formed the poem graphically, it so enhances the message. As if you indeed step down that cliff. Gregory Richard Barden March 5, 2017 at 4:36 AM Thanks so much, Darren ... much appreciated!

Edward Mccall March 4, 2017 at 7:35 AM it is so true what you said Greg we as a race have become too dependent on technology. And I shutter to think what will happen when Technology does break down. Also a great mem, Wiley coyote is the poster child for improper use of technology. Gregory Richard Barden March 5, 2017 at 4:38 AM Thank you so much, Edward ... I, too, felt Wile E. was the perfect poster "boy" for the misuse of technology, lol, though I always rooted for him just a bit. ;-)
