Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

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.

Jennifer Proxenos May 17, 2021 at 10:59 AM 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. Caren Krutsinger May 17, 2021 at 11:49 PM It is so sad! So sadly sad.

L Milton Hankins May 17, 2021 at 9:56 AM Ah, so true. Instant Gratification has become the god of many. Our children will suffer most, and they were only trying to cope. Caren Krutsinger May 17, 2021 at 11:49 PM I pray for them daily.
