Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Past Present and Future

Unfilmed amid a progressive era
many aspects of biography, are now taken for granted
Whether it’s the ascending or settling of the Sun
or simply the manner in which our food gets planted

In this evolving hour of technology
appropriate pleasantries are easy to overlook
A list of many now rely on internet and social media
scarcely ever cracking open a book

Time accepts indisputable revisions
our archaic methods will soon be lost
Rapid evolution of human civilization
will always render an exhaustive cost

Our workmanship and pride
slowly give way to the modern token
Be mindful of how you live and gain
so our children’s future is not left broken

Jennifer Proxenos August 22, 2020 at 8:15 AM Hi Mark, I believe that all ones poems and emails to clients in our business be backed up with hard copies, - it has proved to be a treasure - my husband's computer crashed, don't worry I said, I have everything, such a safe feeling and as for reading book I still look at my Rhyme Zone dictionary, my thesaurus Book and my dictionary , I don't use the computer for any, of these. Your poem is one of things to come and that are happening explained in creative poetic style. Blessings, Hugs, Jenn. Mark Koplin August 22, 2020 at 9:04 AM Thank goodness for paper! Thank you

Paul Callus August 22, 2020 at 6:34 AM The more we gain, the more we have to lose! Some things, unfortunately, will never be the same again. Regards // paul Mark Koplin August 22, 2020 at 9:03 AM You are spot on

Jenna Logan August 22, 2020 at 5:14 AM Far too many things are broken in today's world. Fingers are used to google and text. No wonder there's no longer a need for children to be taught cursive. Books are not needed...shades of Fahrenheit 451. Mark Koplin August 22, 2020 at 9:03 AM Times are definitely changing

Jan Allison August 21, 2020 at 3:38 PM guess we have to move with the times... but not all change is for the better. when i worked at school a kid wanted to spell a word - i said to find it in the dictionary... he wanted to use his phone... i found it in the dictionary before he had even turned the phone on ... and they call it progress lol:-( hugs jan xx Mark Koplin August 21, 2020 at 4:12 PM Some change is good just not all. Hopefully we don’t repeat the bad

Kim Rodrigues August 21, 2020 at 11:43 AM Yes, we get to see the changes as all that have come before us have. We each carry with us our part in history. Mark Koplin August 21, 2020 at 4:11 PM It’s a sad realization
