Kept alive by the latest technology Your link to the busy outside world But memory can falter and fade in these links as easily as in our own minds The latest technology is kept alive by our money It’s a vicious circle that keeps us dependent on each other Without money, there’s no life support Without life support, no life With the passing of an overdue phone bill Your voice is silenced Desperately searching for a way to speak You turn to a keyboard Soon after, your internet connection fails. You are trapped alone with your thoughts Without any way to transfer them to the rest of the world As you begin to accept your demise You lie alone with your ipod Only able to communicate within yourself Until the batteries die |
good poem, well written.the theme is great i never thought about it like this before. very original.modern convienences love them when they work, hate them when they breakdown, or in this case disconnected.just shows you how much we depend on them.nice work gerry | Posted on 2007-01-14 00:00:00 | by bogeyman | [ Reply to This ] | I like this one a lot. | I admire your ability to keep the feelings of amusment and desperation beautifully blended. It is amazing how much we depend on our modern conveniences. We are constanly telling eachother how much we hate these darn contraptions that keep us busy and blurred, but the moment we have them no more we feel so issolated we wanna scream. Do you mind if I copy this and hang it in my house, with your name on it of course. ~LD | Posted on 2007-01-14 00:00:00 | by lastdragon | [ Reply to This ] | |
