Programmed people
sometimes technologys troublesome,
and other times its awesome,
but we the people are so programmed,
we believe to be without it would be impossible.
Within a few clicks,
the world wide web is at our disposal,
but it has a sinister side,
it can be pages of the superficial and the misleading,
we can get lost on sites for many an hour,
scrolling down and across for information that is of no use to us.
To a degree its dysfunction that dumbs us down,
its catalepsy by a super fast screen,
the sophisticated appliances insult us,
the sophisticated appliances have us trance like,
cyber space is taking over,
its corrupting us.
The smart phones and tablets are watching,
whilst our lap and desk tops monitor every move we make,
and have us on standby.
We are addicted to electronic gadgets,
the prosaic computers are a projection of ourselves.

You are totally right , I'm a firm believer that we are allowing computers to take over but that is the future. All we can do is show our children the dangers of social media, check out my poem " Dreamweaver".
Powerful words here, keep it up.
ββββββThanks Gerard its so easy to get sucked into cyber space i constantly have to keep pulling myself out of it.
to much time spent on computers, phones,e.t.c. appears to affect me both physically and mentally.
just read "Dream weaver"
excellent use of words.
Wow!! FFV!!......I think that humanity has hope.... because..... there are people like you writing stuff like this on the very system that will one day seek to enslave humanity......I think that there is true BRILLIANCE in these words....MORE than any of us yet realize!!...... but I have glimpsed destruction's potential... and poetry is truly an advocate for the mind's potential to live far beyond "Fahrenheit 451".......cool stuff!!......ALL STARS!!........ hugs n claps!!.......T xo β€β
Thanks Tony. I appreciate feed back from such a good poet as yourself.
if i get to locked into the technology it can have a negative impact.

thanks for your comment,
much appreciated.
Quixotic tin hat.love the name.
I think your poem is very important for many to hear for a variety of reasons,Β FRANTIC FREE-VERSER. Not the least of which is how socially inept we are becoming as a society because of it.
You brought up a lot of great points here.
Keep fighting the "Good Fight!"

Np I give respect when itβs due thanks for the like on β philosophy of poetryβΒ
Some of us have a natural ability to be poeticelly philosophical.methinks.
i Think we all have the ability but only some of us take the time and use the energetic to express
Yes i think some have a more urgent need to express themselves than others.
