Unfilmed amid a progressive era
many aspects of biography, are now taken for granted
Whether it’s the ascending or settling of the Sun
or simply the manner in which our food gets planted
In this evolving hour of technology
appropriate pleasantries are easy to overlook
A list of many now rely on internet and social media
scarcely ever cracking open a book
Time accepts indisputable revisions
our archaic methods will soon be lost
Rapid evolution of human civilization
will always render an exhaustive cost
Our workmanship and pride
slowly give way to the modern token
Be mindful of how you live and gain
so our children’s future is not left broken
