We’ve given up the art of conversation, <br />This has left me feeling vexed, <br />Though it will fill some with elation, <br />Their preference is to communicate by text. <br /> <br />Send me an e: mail I’m busy right now, <br />Truth is they don’t want to talk, <br />It’s swollen joints this art will endow, <br />On your fingers it’s a terrible shock. <br /> <br />Why buy a book my tablet is fine, <br />I just delete it whenever it’s read, <br />I can even purchase a bottle of wine, <br />Or even a nice loaf of bread. <br /> <br />I don’t even need to go over the door, <br />Shops are now a thing of the past, <br />I send an instruction to my local store, <br />Everything’s then delivered quite fast. <br /> <br />I can see who’s calling I have the choice, <br />As to whether I answer or not, <br />If I so choose I’ll delete their voice, <br />Knowing I cannot get caught. <br /> <br />My mobile is something I would not be without, <br />To do so would just give me strife, <br />At work, rest or play let there be no doubt, <br />It’s an integral part of my life. <br /> <br />There’s no need to talk to you face to face, <br />Those days are now long gone, <br />That communication we had we’ve no need to replace, <br />We are witnessing a brand new dawn. <br /> <br />We’d become totally dependent on a mobile device, <br />Past talents are now out of reach, <br />For that mistake we paid a heavy price, <br />We had forfeited the power of speech. <br /> <br />Then one fateful day the world’s power died, <br />The world was in a state of despair, <br />Nobody could talk so everyone cried, <br />The past they could not repair. <br /> <br />Different generations going back thousands of years, <br />Had talents they all left behind, <br />Trying to resurrect them left them in tears, <br />As those skills they could no longer find. <br /> <br />Like all civilisations that have went before, <br />Those past abilities could not be applied, <br />The art of conversation we could not restore <br /> <br />‘’ Our Ability To Communicate Had Died ‘’<br /><br />bri mar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-ability-to-communicate-had-died/
