HUMANITY LOST


Oh, Humanity,
Your collapse 
Between
Technological progress
And
Moral regress I 
Mourn!

a picture is a meta language
each symbol worth a thousand words
ancient culture spread like a tree in all directions
today the technological era has caused the mighty system to lean

the toaster and oven  beep at me 
when they want attention 
my phone beeps at me
my car beeps at me 
my watch beeps at me 
my door bell now beeps at me
what is happening 
in this beeping 
technological world....

We live in an era of 
breathtaking innovations
I hope we will not give in to 
so many unexpected temptations

-	The whole world will absolutely change with technological innovations either for the best or for the worst...

the wind is like a voice
whispering in the treetops
the ancient wisdom
and we in our technological cage
have forgotten how to listen

Scrolling

Endlessly

They look more like witches than saints
Smiles cruel and angelic

I'm allergic to their bared teeth

There are more phantoms than people
And we're all celebrating the ghosts
Hands together
A technological seance...

CHOKE POINT

Our roads are at choke point 
as traffic descends into gridlock chaos. 
Cars, lorries, buses and vans 
all bumper to bumper in a traffic 
jam ten miles long. This is a vision 
of the technological world 
in which we live where both man 
and machine grind to a halt....

Modern man worships at the altar of technological progress
                         For better or for worse
                              For richer or for poorer
                                    To have and to hold
                                         'Till death do them part...

Technological advances 
An addiction 
Society has no cure

Social media
Networking human interaction
Many friends, in reality-few 

False identities prevail

The internet
Disguising predators
Or insecurities
Those yearning for acceptance
Or mischief

The dude who invented the remote control certainly was a genius!

   I can surf the TV from the comfort of my Lazy-Boy - 'tis so ingenious!

      But even with this technological marvel I still have a complaint.

         Why is it that the illusive remote is usually where I ain't?

While technological gadget 
                   poses test 
              to teacher's best---
          may educational budget 
     bring to crest 
learner's zest.

*Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The technological era we live in

As

The "Blasphemous One" will be recorded in the annals

Of human history

Because Man,

Instead of acting as the custodian of life on earth that

God intended him to be,

Unwisely, 

Was transformed into life's merciless annihilator!

Now social networks
Before tea-room social chat –
IT changes us

Single views are flawed
Life is grey not black and white-
Harmony spawns hope

Computer jargon
Academic rhetoric – 
Actions not words count

Caterpillars are transforming
to butterflies

Dead thousand-year trees
are now infested by mushrooms

Analogue televisions are being
replaced by digital television

Radios and CD Players are being guided 
to the technological graves by ipods

Post-offices are being wiped out
by emails and facebook

I am almost reaching thirty
tears of age!

It seems that everything
is aging...

Rome
A cat
Drowned

A middle ground
Of Europe
Searching for a new identity

A new entity
New parasite born

The King is dead
Long live The King

An image of filthy streets
Garbage
Rats

A new squalor
New age of technological progress

States rise and fall
And survive through art

Literature of hart
Paintings and machines
Bringing modernity's beginnings...

AFRICA continent
discourage total dependence
on outside donor funding__
AFRICA seek to implement
viable fundrising ventures__
rich continent in terms of
abundance natural resources__
tapping and utilising resources 
for funding our own budgets.
Why waiting upon donors from
outside to find our own projects?

A pair of brown grey 
cormorants sit bobbing on 
perky swells
Then ploink they disappear to 
probe
The Hudson's murky hell.  

Down in Dante's numbered 
rings
They swim blinded by pollution
In the shadow of towering 
testaments
To technological evolution. 

I could not imagine there being 
life
In a river so deathly still
Til up they popped with puffed 
up throats
To swallow a tasty kill....

Built from ambition a live wired frantic pace
Now Machines are crawling all over this place

We've become so dependent in this technological age
I fear that soon Machines will lock is in a cage

Paranoid? No not right now but maybe someday
Ask me the same question in about a decade

By then the control should be shifting its power
That's when the clock ticks humanities final hour

Listen to poem:

Technological Transition to a Modern World
David J Walker

The Earth comprised of earthy scent
Labored sweat 
		Grim regret 
80 years have sown

The Earth revised by measure lent 
The hunters net
		A daily threat 
90 years have flown

The Earthy prize a treasure spent 
A gamblers fret 
		An unpaid bet
100 years on loan

The Earth receives unearthly bent 
The loss offset 
		A crude asset 
1000 years have flown...

There’s a 7-11 on Mars,
with parking for plenty of cars.
There’s never a wait in line
and you never get carded for wine.

There’s a huge monument on Venus,
it's shaped like a giant peniz.
That’s a salute to Jeffery Bezos,
is it accurate and life-like - who knows?

A universe for the rich,
who found a technological niche,
with their business soaring,
to the stars they are roaring,
but for the rest of us, life is a bit-ch....

Noel set me off.
Memories, permutations, 
Eating paper.
My mother in her apron.
Dad with the black bin bag
Ready to bin the now useless wrapping 
and
I thought.

As I heard my children screaming, snickering and howling downstairs.
What would set them off?
Set them off in their driverless car
Minor technological switches
Urine to wash the British navy's kecks
Half an hour rinse
After I've joined the dead
Thirty years from now.

The Sphinx, an early Egyptian god
With head of a man and feline’s bod 
Was a helpless kind of deity
Of no use to priest or laity.

God was angered by the golden calf,
But the silly sphinx just made him laugh,
A toy to toss to nearest stars
To land at last on Planet Mars.

It lies there in nonentity
A rock without identity
Forgotten with other rocks around it
Until technological camera found it.
