The World Has Turned Angry

The world has turned angry. Families have been replaced with technology. Swiping and dinging has replaced listening and learning. Drivers are enraged; impatient, unkind. They plow over each other, like angry puppies Because they must wait their turn. Instant gratification has become the go-to now. We want it immediately – information, food, attention. The world has turned angry. The families are gone. Technology has replaced love and kindness. People spend more time in cars driving frantically Than they spend in homes. No one is listening to our children. They sit in front of a tablet poking buttons Wishing someone cared. The world is sad.

What you so poetically describe is a true fact of today's way of life, very sad, we are becoming so robot like, not good, but bad! A brilliant poem dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Ah, so true. Instant Gratification has become the god of many. Our children will suffer most, and they were only trying to cope.

Which is why grandparents are so incredibly revered.

Yes, we must put down objects and turn toward the objects of our love.
