The 5g Headstone

The 5G Headstone {An extension of our personal, technological,isolated generation)                            ~~~~ For those to be buried in the earth.... Of this creation, I sing a mournful dirth. I almost feel like a wolf, howling at the winter moon. For we no longer will talk on phones: We....such human goons! Therefore a cement headstone that has 5G and WI-FI! Where you can email those that have gone, bye-bye. No need to attend a funeral at all anymore. What for? Stay home,watch the Packers,have Brats and more! The messages free, can run day or night. With feigned messages; like how you loved them! Hah! No more visitations needed, send an Emoji from time to time, as it will not cost a dime. No going there with expensive, nor beautiful flowers Send a Pixabay image! Saves you many,many dollars. You will be even able to send a favorite song to your lost one. That's what we have become. Nations of 24/7 selfish ones! Watch my idea come to fruition. Money for flowers better spent on childrens' tuition. If it does, we all need to make an act of deep, solemn contrition! For avoiding the living in life with ignoramus through texts and emails. And living as selfish folk, too busy for others with our schedules and oh, so dramatic....travails. Perhaps a DeadBook can be created? Anything, just leave us alone! Playing with video games or washing our clothes. Where technology replaced God and what was once, 'humanity.' Oh, I left out the sanctimonious adoration of trees! Quite an outrage and a shame! And some of you weeping over animal loss and their dying? Whilst you ignore, your living fellow man's heart's soft crying. October 25, 2019

Gad you caught the humor in it..people are nutty enough to buy one. Gratefully, Panagiota. Must be because we are both from Chicago?

My honest answer? Look at the world.... Anne, Lise, thank you for posting. In fact, look at the few responses...that tells me the fact that reality is hard to face. We woukd prefer to dance in lost love, seasons and animals or sex. In the past helps blind us to the present. PR

Gina, my trusted friend! I know this does not sing of autumn but you can tell...it's a subject that I am concerned about. Our lack of humanity is foremost to me. I honor humans more than leaves-)) and I feel out of place because I say so. Leaves can never love us, no matter how lovely fall is. PR
