We've learned of gravity, and entropy
studying the universe with astronomy
Our technology has brought prosperity but left us lazy
promoting poverty, misery and disparity with little charity
no peace, or serenity
Ignoring nature's harmony
we have built our armory
and with rapacity promoted calamity
With our audacity we have created a tragedy of insanity
inequity, larceny, and enmity
In our practicality we lacked sagacity
with little hospitality for humanity
unhappily with apathy valuing our phones more than family
and no thought of our posterity or community
With impunity we've lowered our immunity
and ignored nature's force of unity
Until we can give up individuality for empathy of community and society
humanity will remain in its state of barbarity in perpetuity
It's like putting a gun of technology in the hand of a child with no apology

Neat ingenious write, Soren.
And for once (once only, mind) I'm not going to leap onto my soapbox and lecture about the use of 'we' ........
Thanks Dave the exception is most appreciated. It must be my dyslexia writing ME upside down. lol The read is most appreciated.
Great writing on our sad state of affairs.
Thank you for the read and comment it is appreciated
Such true words soren, we need to ensure that our reality is not overtaken by technology. (he says writing these words on a computer!)

Thanks Andy. Yes I too have fallen prey to technology. Although I have lived for weeks and even months without electricity I prefer it. We grow accustomed to certain luxuries.
This piece has a startlingly wonderful variation of intricate rhyme and variant terminology!! It deals with such a broad breadth of thematic concepts and reads like a breathless gauntlet of revelatory insight and wisdom! I sincerely loved the internal rhyme in this piece and all the concepts dealt with made it a kaleidoscopic musing of a brilliant poetic mind. Thankyou for writing this piece it was thrilling to read. Elizabeth
