Zeitgeist

A Copernican change - analysts say,
          Or a paradigm shift;
      Progression has gone a long way,
                    With daydreams drift...!

The revolution that had once begun,
          With the wheel long ago;
      Has rolled on with stun, spun, and fun,
                    Now to aglow...!

I could not believe it when I did touch
          The smart touch phone wonder;
      Mystery in it I felt much,
                    Like calm thunder...!

Communication, like spring buds and blooms,
          Fervor-fresh and fragrant;
      Forever new finale fumes,
                    Like a vagrant...!

Computer? Who cares? Wheel? Oh! No! Grown old!
          Enjoy a small apple;
      In the form of tablets, handsets,
                    Till you grapple...!

We go on; Our kids too; like birds and beasts
          In old woods with new trade;
      Our minds leavened by newness-yeasts,
                    Like lilies fade...!!!
