As I ponder over the world today
with all its material rubbish
and crap that none of us need
children deep within their cell phones watching themselves on Instagram
whilst necks bent down on the dining table
at the posh restaurant
they don't even care to be
unknown to them
their own parents also filming and taking photos
for their own pride and joy
publishing it all online
I cannot help but think to myself...
if we could sit down on a gamers chair
playing video games of war and of violence
then
surely we could also
sit down to educate ourselves on the more beautiful things
like art, history and nature?
I cannot help but wonder
if we could turn the clock back
or even forward
to the beauty that once was and of that
in which could be
would this world be any different
than it is today?
and what would really become of the Poet?

A poet will always have something to write about Teddy. But hopefully more of the finer points you mentioned here in the beautiful things in life, like a poem from yourself dear poet. 😁👍
Yes we will, yesterday this poem looked so much different dearest A.P thank you big hugs to you. 🌹
Teddy, for once I don’ t really know to how put this, but to me you so certainly mirrored clearly the crap which exists out there, then asked for a different orientation….. Would the world be….?? Not sure, but I would hope so….. The poet either gets with it or shuts up!!!
(Can’t put an appropriate emoji, but you I hope can guess where my heart is…)
A simple heart perhaps lol ❤️
evolved or deconstructed, either way the message remains very much the same .. both this one and its predecessor are memorable .. 🌹
thank you Nev, you are a true gentleman 🌹
Dear Teddy, all I can say is that I am happy that I was born when I was. I see sliding values and lack of interest in many of the things I was brought up to love. The times are certainly changing. Kids cooped up indoors instead of in the fresh air. Only interested in social media and their mobile phones. Yuk. I am beginning to sound like an old fart:) as for poets, they will always find something to write about. You eloquently express my own thoughts here dear poet 🌹
My dear Cassie, thank you so much, it's a sad fact isn't it. I'm so glad I was born in the 70's we really did have it all. Choppers, live aid, passion for everything, not like today's world. Thank you so much. 🌹
Such very true words Teddy, the cellphone has taken over the younger generation.
Andy
Thank you dear Andy. 🌹
