Sometimes I Wish

Sometimes I wish I could go back in Time, 
salivating for intelligent conversation...I think,
Shakespeare would have been interesting -- 

Most people today, seeming more programmed
than ever before in history – afraid to be alone
with independent thoughts; distracted by
background music, beeps, and screen prompts;

A society that has become reactionary, opposed
to Free-thinking and Self-determining (Ripe for
abuse!) 

Would not be surprised to see a Cathedral being
built, Cross on top, "Church of Social Media" -- 

Next-door to an Abortion Clinic, "Preschool for Applied
Robotic Thinking" -- 

On the same block a Rehab
for those addicted to Traditional Marriage 
and Monogamous Sex....
