Each and every child should start,
to rediscover the forgotten art,
And every adult should assist,
then with something, themselves have missed.
The art of memory, long forgotten,
I try to hide my despair,
for this tragedy smells so rotten,
our children's minds, lay bare.
yet I believe it's meant to be,
the most valued commodity,
the fact it's not seems odd to me.
With an Iphone in your pocket,
you have unlimited knowledge,
I'm afraid I'll have to end it there,
because today I forgot it.

Good write, so many now cannot live without their 'phones glued to them, be fore long they will be a built in part of the body.
Thanks and yes they will be soon. I use memory palaces to remember shopping lists, poems, speeches and entire books and to write poems as well as other things. I don't mind technology but it should be improving the person using it not replacing their mind.
Another good poem and a deep, quite worrying topic really. I question a lot of change and so-called progress and these subjects interest me. This tragedy smells so rotten - I like that !
