Inane Humans

Inane Humans

A Poem by Barbara Walker
"

Observation

"
Moving, across the sky
at speeds that would have made our ancestors,
who once lived in caves, cower in fear
instead,
we put on earphones
to better hear the inane in-flight movie
and ignore being in the midst of clouds, so bright, they sear.

That's what writers are 'bout!
U knw wht, today, being in modernism, it seems like being lost in d belivrmodernismve things. Youth have spoiled things around ev'n d essence of their own customs, no matter what. The poetry that u're quite bled in is what reflecting the truism of ur inner poet hidden deep at d bottom of ur very spirit...

... people enjoy phones but writers might be bewitched with just a piece of paper & pen. However, i belive tec. has already ruined things around but it has blessed the world with creativity as well so in a sense, it all depends what ... what thinking one is seemed to be bewildered around. Very creative thoughts u leave in few simplistic words. Brilliant. Looking forward to reading u!

We do many things, which if considered are not really things that make sense. I mean really a thousand plus pound plan floating on air. I think not. What fools we be.

Very fun write and it makes you think.

Thank you for the review!
It really is amazing how much we take for granted nowadays. Beautifully illustrated.

So true. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Excellent point on our lack of awe due to familiarity and its indifference. Short but bittersweet.

very astute ... and aint it the truth! the ear plugs and blinders go on all over the place ... making us neither a recorder nor a participant in the glories surrounding each of us :(
