In the Wake of New Gods

In the Wake of New Gods

Never fear

I could not tear up

or otherwise

destroy all the things

that made us look fools ..

And anyway,

who am I to question

the validity

of your new god,

the latest iPhone

and your

unwavering devotion ..

Tomorrow

is another day though

and in the meantime

I shall take

a back seat for a while

and enjoy

what is left of the view

in the golden

wake of your new god ..

The new god of technology. Science has prevailed! So we go from the old Trojan horse to the new Trojan virus. It's like don't even make love without a Trojan. Well, there is a condom by that name. I have a smart phone. I'm still figuring out how to work the damn thing. But it usually just sits in one place unless I hit the road. My vehicles ain't so dependable so I take my phone in case I have to call Triple A on the highway. I still don't want to hold the thing to my ear so all my calls are on speaker. I start all my conversations with, "You're on speaker." Little people in the house and all that...I don't want her learning any new bad words. I like this Neville...not the inspiration...that's kinda' scary but the observation...that's kinda' brilliant. Good job on this. F.

Playing second fiddle to an iPhone does suck. Be on the alert for an outage, though. When their god no longer speaks, they'll come home.

I always make sure yard work takes the place of technology. It's designed to addict us like a drug. Surely it is a new god.

Great poem.

Wow, how appropriate for how things have become and become the most important in our lives. It is almost unbelievable how "Things" are cherished over people anymore. Well said my friend.

Sit back and watch them make fools of themselves again whilst you sit quietly and have a knowing smile on your face ... karma prevails.
