Who'da Thunk
We can find out anything
By clicking on our phone
And possibilities exist
More than the world has known.
Deliveries come to our door
With anything we need
And plenty that we don’t,
With satisfaction guaranteed.
The opportunities abound
To travel and to learn
As chances keep expanding
To reach goals for which we yearn.
With all of these accomplishments
We’ve never had before,
Well, who’da thunk that there would
Still be poverty and war?
That there would still be hatred
And stupidity and greed,
Small-mindedness, brutality
And bullies to mislead?
Technology’s advances
Might have given us a boost,
But you woulda thunk such problems
Woulda somehow been reduced.
