Are you sure this is Help?

The tiny letters on the box,

Are they supposed to help?

They don’t even look like words,

Let alone a list of steps.

 

These people that make the directions,

They needn’t follow their own instruction,

They don’t know our pain.

Do they not understand that we’re confused?

 

And no, if I am having troubles with my computer,

I can’t look up a solution online,

If my phone is the problem,

I cannot call your customer help hotline.

This only tells you so much of how society and the people in it work to get their own advantage on everything now-a-days. Great work keep writing.

I love this. It's so true, it's very impressive. Keep writing :)

Honest, and a great commentary on modern communication. Well done and great idea. I however would have like too see more length only because I enjoyed so much.

[Sylph Drake]

Oh, I love it! XD So painfully true...

Very hard to talk to real people on the phone now. Machines are blocking you from all directions. I still don't trust the machines. A outstanding poem. I know the feeling of this poem. Thank you.
