Technology

We've learned of gravity, and entropy

studying the universe with astronomy

Our technology has brought prosperity but left us lazy

promoting poverty, misery and disparity with little charity

no peace, or serenity

Ignoring nature's harmony

we have built our armory

and with rapacity promoted calamity

With our audacity we have created a tragedy of insanity

inequity, larceny, and enmity

In our practicality we lacked sagacity

with little hospitality for humanity

unhappily with apathy valuing our phones more than family

and no thought of our posterity or community

With impunity we've lowered our immunity

and ignored nature's force of unity

Until we can give up individuality for empathy of community and society

humanity will remain in its state of barbarity in perpetuity

It's like putting a gun of technology in the hand of a child with no apology

sharp .. hits hard .. enjoyed all the "...y"sssss ... i can see and hear the beats of the world in smoke swirled dives ... snapping their fingers of approval after hearing this read .. we don't learn, do we Soren .. man from the start was and remains a very fallen creature .. struggling to bridge the chasm between what we are and for most .. what we know we should be .. age old questions ... hmmmmmmm .. being a lover of happy endings i have to add ... much good is done in the world .. it just never gets front and center stage .. i think your poem is poignant social commentary .. it bleeds as i read .. all true and tragic :(((((((((((((((( blessings of peace and joy my friend!

a very well written reflection of a terribly sad state of affairs with which I couldn't more thoroughly agree
