Sticks and Stones

I got a new smart phone! it's awesome, but i hate technology! i love this phone though!

Sticks and Stones (November 2010)

I​ wonder what it means;

This advent of technology?

God's of a new age.

No longer men of 

Flesh and bone

Nor 

Flustered words 

Verse

Sticks and stones.

L​ooking up to clouds

We claimed dominion

Over all things.

Then man took flight

A​nd

Oh, the sky screamed.

We've categorized chaos;

Brought form to anarchy.

Turned water into wine

A​nd

D​efined all reality.

Gaining consciousness 

And existence 

We surf air waves

In infinite ways.

We've brided Eternity  

And made a mid-wife 

Of Impossible and 

Bridled tomorrow

A​nd

Together all three

We ride.

It sounds so optimistic and refreshing...I love this expression:
we surf air waves
in infinity ways

ahaha - authors note :)

technology has become a massive part of society - ever growing, ever changing - in both good and bad ways...
Its unavoidable...unless your Amish

. to quote a queen track ... stoned cold crazy, ya know ... or as someone who taught me how to roll amsterdams would say ... stoned immaculate ... i love your poem ... brilliant choice of words and references all the way ... "water to wine" is deployed amazingly well ... and the last eight lines are super spectacular ... now, pass me the joint ... i hope ... for dope ... :P ... jesus ! ... i'm sure that when the creator created us all ... or technology happened ... no one would've thought we're capable of forgetting everything else and focusing on dope ... we're all doomed, high, writing and smiling about it ... :) ...

LOL to authors notes!! Well I still think you managed to pull off a good poem..I would never have know..I did a piece on technology. We have advanced faster without looking at the consquences! Like children who run out in the road without looking..your asking for trouble :)

I think it means that Man has finally found a way to kill God with technology now we think we are just as smart as he is and just as fast if you don't believe me I will text you faster than the speed of sound or light. Now pass the bud! LOL
