Those Zombified Clones

Capital city
But oh such a pity
So noisy
So crowded 
they look 
but don't see

Crowds 
just shop
Crowds 
should stop 
To view 
our majestic history

With heads bowed low
Return to their homes
Fingers still typing
Those zombified clones

"Those zombified clones" - ah, yes, but it is not only there. It is everywhere, I fear.

Yes if only they'd leave their screens at home! Kindest thoughts Ann x
