This Suicide Will Be PodCast

This Suicide Will Be PodCast

A Poem by James Takeo Panton
"

Just ranting......not to be taken too seriously.......

"

 

This suicide will be PodCast
It will be broadcast on your screen
It will be featured on MySpace, and Facebook,
And YouTube too
You can get it on your MSN Messenger
On your webcam in real time
My descent will be transmitted
For everyone to see
My mourners will be the audience
My blog is my eulogy
Does this page define me?
Do these words make any sense?
Everyone I know is neatly compacted here
Packaged to be viewed
Click and refresh for comments
Email and forward to all in your list
Here we are connected
In these tiny little boxes
Waiting for a reply, a response
Seeking a connection
How sad has man become
That it has come to this!
We are isolated and alone
And connect without touching anymore
We left-click, cry, and laugh
And quickly search for more
But THIS suicide will be public
For everyone to see
World Wide Web will document it
For eternity
There will be a page somewhere
That will say “HERE I AM”
And someone will take notice
When they see me on their cam
And when I am gone, and all is lost
And I have become no more
Maybe you can download it
And on your hard drive, store
Somewhere on the internet
I can always be
But it will never document
What IS the real me

very nice, it has a nice modern, post modern feel to it.
(i know that sound abnoxious but i really mean i like it)

there where some cleverness to it as well.
sorry, wit, i guess would be the word to describe what i mean.

oh and the rhyming was from very good to excelnt.
still written very casually, like your just letting some steam off.
but the word suicide i think makes it very, edgy.

i like it, its honest and good.
thank you for sharing, and thank you for your reivew on my piece.

That was rather original (Sounds kinda sarcastic but its not! :P)
Your rant makes a very simple, accurately good point about technology today how people allow others see a moment of our life whenever they find it interesting.
Me likey!

Unfortunately, this piece may be more prophetic than bizarre. This is a profound piece maybe without you knowing it, although I think you see it's possibility. It's powerful in it's probability. Great write. Rain..

You had me at PodCast. It's honestly, very vey sad that our world has become, in large part, boxes on screens, and photos and profiles. Yet, here we are, in cyberspace, putting poems on the internet.
Oh, the irony.

It's well written, has great poise but honestly it's scary. The significance of touch is in reality missing from our cyber world. On the other hand it captured my attention and flowed like an unobstructed river with a swift message.

This is an extremely well written piece. I especially liked these lines:

Here we are connected
In these tiny little boxes
Waiting for a reply, a response
Seeking a connection
How sad has man become
That it has come to this!

I really enjoyed this poem, you did a great job!
