Wonderland

Watching as the world begins to implode..with our help

I wonder as I journey along,amongst the pain and blindness,

How we will survive this year without faith or kindness.

Our hope and fears and now measured out on our social status,

who gives a toss and hit re tweet,i'll succumb to my techno apparatus.

With the planet collapsing around us,how can we be so meek,

All our fears will come to pass...possibly this time next week?

Facebook,Twitter and MySpace,all the social graces,

We do not stop and wonder,what our future faces.

We've grown in an ignorant time,so selfish and absorbed,

No thought for others or their plight,we are self indulgant bores.

Take stock of what we were given,look up at the sky,

count the stars and your blessing and ask yourself ......why.

This is very realistic. It is what is happening today. A lot of people with so little time, spend their lives wasting what little time they've got with things they think matters. Somehow, we see a lot of things, yet our humanity continues to degrade. I like this despises from you. :)

I like it, its how i used to live until I unplugged from my hand held devices, I feel more aware now. I think more people should read this.

Time is golden and of the essence. Implosion is not good as well as an explosion...Bravo

You are most welcome.
I strongly feel that the online traps are snatching away our thoughts and works.
You may read some contents now but you may not see them after few hours.
We are addicted to some invisible yet irresistible power.

Great poem about the narcissism of people on social media! We all need to take look at what really matters in this world.

Many thanks Trevor."People" forget very quickly about others.Too many want to be famous,even if it's for 15 Andy Warhol's.We have grown into a society of self indulgent a**holes.If it's not shiny and bleeps,not interested.Grrrrrr! Thanks again for your kind words.
