Times are warped

Here we go again,sitting gazing at our screens
Click click click we talk to friends
My how times have changed
We used to meet and then discover

Now we discover and never meet
So safe so safe we are at home
We never let others know we are alone
Yes we yearn for love and peace

But in this world of terror and fear
Why would you travel far or near
Click click click with love you all
We are brave courageous and full of hope

But we are just an image with a note
click click click lets live to be alive
Come on people leave your screens
Dreams are dreams we should desire

About this poem:

Technology has changed us so radically,but the time is coming where we will leave our screens and be social beings again.BRING IT ON BROTHERS AND SISTERS!Yep the web will crash and so will our society,but we will come through stronger and wiser.

Very nice Boy . . I think you are correct though . . . Many Societies have been brought down by their own progress in technology . . . Only to have to start at the basics of life all over again . . . Sometimes Simple is much nicer and so much better, I think anyway . . . Thank you for joining us in our love of Poetry
