Technology - Who Needs It

Technology controls us all over
but remember when there was none
life was seemingly so much easier
looking back why did it so turn

We like always to communicate
by whatever means we can
but is our tongue not more useful?
especially face to face with your clan

When you've got locals of friends
on your Facebook page or whatever
they're really so artificially false
failing completely to deliver

Life went on these years ago
not depending on all that hi-tech
slower pace got you there ok
even when it's a fairly long trek

So technology is alright I suppose
in its place not overtaking our time
what would our ancestors have thought?
maybe thought I'd rather be in my prime!

(Just some thoughts on the modern control upon us of technology and all things modern.)

Who needs technology.? Well (satan needs it) People can use it.' Yet should not be abused by It.' We need God...God wants us, the number and Mark has to come.! We do not have to take it The plan-demic was a dry run..A flexing of the Beasts muscles..God will arrive sudden the Game will be over, in one... Amen.!

Dear Gordon, Your poem graciously offers a reflective journey into the complexities of modernity. Your words are filled with a nostalgic longing for simpler times when life flowed at a gentler pace. I love how you eloquently question the true value of technology amidst its omnipresence in our lives. You wonderfully want us to reconsider the essence of communication and the authenticity it embodies. Your contemplation rightfully shows us to balance the convenience of technology with the richness of face-to-face interaction. A very nice sentiment. - Blessings, Daniel
