Progress

sorenbarrett

Before TV there was just you and me

We had our walk, a time to talk

no tablets or cell phone

 

Together we had meals, shared a set of wheels

no face time, your friends were mine

Technology left me alone

    Yes, totally in agreement dear Sorenbarret how so beautifully expressed. My son is 10 I feel every bit of this poem he thinks I'm mean as I don't let him have all the technology his friends have I limit it. I only hope one day he will thank me. It's hard to.live in today's world 🌎❣️

      Thank you Teddy, I'm getting old and recognize the plus and minus of technology but look back with nostalgia of the simplicity of the past.

          in our search for progress
          we strip away what truly matters
          well most do, rest of us
          are left behind, holding-on
          choosing to believe
          there's someone who can understand
          and feel the same, somewhere...
          (a poignant, relatable
          and sobering read, dear Poet)
          thank you!

            Tech has done that to so many relationships. Ironic, the very thing that's supposed to be considered advancement is ultimately the demise of relationships and growth. Very well written and communicated.
