Paradise Lost: Technology

Paradise Lost:Technology

No, sorry, won't grovel at its electronic toes!
People so busy on Facebook or texting.
Figures show younger people have
even stopped loving sexing?
So stuck to their computers are they!

Worse, human communication skills suffered the most.
"I'm good ", "thank you" and "O.K is all people can say?
Nor can they speak or write intelligently.
Dinners are the worst,when cell phones
jump out of pockets like juicy liverwurst.

At least in poetry I find, far more than
insipid three words.
You all blow my mind, your love, oh,how
it shows.
Whole paragraphs and wonderful life
experiences live here.
Poetry Soup~ our very last human hemisphere!

Oh so very very sad but true. Kids in England can't look up long enough to even say hello now. If your lucky at best you can expect a text. And as for manners please and thank you. As the Kids say don't make me L.O.L. Evolution and a brain gave us Language , Speech and Apposable Thumbs. Technology is making 2 out of 3 redundant now I fear Panagiota
