Bomb alike The gadget
Fissioned whole world
Expansion of technology
By this root has been hurled
By this the root was hurled
This content is so viral
This data is so big
The Fibonacci spiral
So much for the naive
They flooded popular markets
New fashion introduced
And via all these processes
New logic was induced
Of all these YEARS development
The magazine is TIME
The journal of experiment
The journal of entanglement
Perhaps could be the mine
Computer gadget
Is the tree of good and evil,
Be wise using it.
The more the world gets smaller,
the less men stay together.
Too much use of computer
gives no time for each other.
Note: This form is called Tanaga, a traditional short Filipino poem which is only a quatrain, having 7 syllables in each line. The rhyming schemes may be aaaa, aabb, abab or abba.
Every evening when we decide to go to bed,
We‘ll charge our phones in living room far from our head.
The difference of works within budget
on works realized is a buffet
no higher math could explain
efforts to explain thus vain
Nobel Prize To whom made this gadget !
His beat rages for hours
darting to the computer table
without time to greet Mom or Dad
as the light pops every minute; wired in
space, lost in blank words when he speaks,
enthralled to level up and gain power points
because he cares more for video than human talk.
The light on the screen aims at Tekken and aliens
raging a war against supremacy, somewhere
outside the real world he can’t deal with, now.
And he puts the light on, enticing him to dim
a special nook in a lit, closed room. Kiddie
books unread for weeks; a migraine
splits past 12 am for a kid of
nine years unable to
control an impulse.
He eats, plays
and deals with
his robot pals..
. . . . .
. . . . .
other boys take
their bikes out,
buts he pushes
another button
controlled by his
mechanical allies
with guns ,roars.
. . . . .
Video wreck,
Game
