Technology bad

Time for some originality methinks

this copy paste world of ours, well it stinks

sincerity became a thing of the past

as people got lazy and obsessed with fast

 

No time for honesty bout the way that you feel

originality gone at the turn of a wheel

a right click here and a left click there

and we use others words to show that we care

 

Well enough of being lazy and thoughtless I say

Lets go back and do things the old fashioned way

Where you said what you meant

and you meant what you said

And took time to write words

you knew would be read

 

Its hard to wrap emails in ribbons and bows

As for Facebook and messenger

who knows where that goes

So give me some paper and a pen every time

And I will sit down and think,

and then write you a line

 

My words may make you smile

and they may make you weep

But I choose them with care

to build something you'll keep.
