Frankii Fame Poet Rhyme

Technology

Falling head over heels for the ideas
That compromise our youth today
Were they sent to bind us?
Laptops, cellphones, and video games

Leaving the air full of corruption
Jumbled onto a tiny chip 
Days beyond a massive explosion
Of knowledge exposed by our fingertips

A constant need on a digital ride
Among the screens we gossip and play
Have our morals been justified?
Free to be led astray

The universe slowly droops her head
In shame as her life force fades
No longer a simple breeze, instead
A constant buzzing is upgraded

Natalie Bassett January 21, 2021 at 5:17 PM I like it and I think you make some valid points about the role tech plays in our life . Have we sold out to technology? Have we sold our souls, our ideals to be supposedly a more technological society? Some have most likely but not all. Some just see these modern-day inventions as tools that can be used for good or bad, to bring about change good or bad not all the younger folks have sold out. Frankii Fame March 5, 2021 at 11:02 PM Sorry I have taken so long to reply. I mostly just post n go, but lately I have been writing and wondering if I ever get comments. It is kinda hard to navigate on here when you get so used to Facebook sharing. I greatly appreciate the time you took to read this, and promise to visit yours! -Frankii Fame
