Goodbye to all <br />Original thought <br />I shall not think again <br />Computers, machines <br />Do everything <br />No need to use the brain <br /> <br />I cannot add <br />Subtract and such <br />I need a calculator <br />Nor can I spell <br />Instead I text <br />I’m an abbreviator <br /> <br />Without my phone <br />I can’t survive <br />I can’t be disconnected <br />No matter what <br />No matter where <br />No call shall be rejected <br /> <br />I have no couth <br />Nor have I learned <br />Good manners or work ethic <br />I’m self-absorbed <br />Show no respect <br />I’ll cut you off in traffic <br /> <br />Say adios <br />Farewell, so long <br />My words I shall not mince <br />We all should fear <br />Because it’s here- <br />The death of common sense. <br /> <br />(2007)<br /><br />Linda Coker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/r-i-p-15/
