Books vs technology (just a poem)

I'm explaining to the people of the world

What Fate of Ten stands for

And my persistent craving for books

Bur does it look as if they understand?

No

They don't

And that's the problem

Of the dark world I'm finding myself in

And that's the problem

Of a world full of people that doesn't read

Something I thought would've

Changed

When the things named 'e-books' arrived

Because everyone was crazy

That our world turned 'technological advanced'

And everyone turned a blind eye

From the comforts of the past

There was always this people

That said

'Technology will make your life so much better'

But now I've come to believe that

We act as if we're worshiping it

And cherishing the fact that

'Our life's made easier'

But rather

We are blinded

By the

Imminent

Torture

Of the

Future

P.S. I'm not expressing my hate towards technology...I just hate it that so few people read. Don't they understand that books are the best thing that ever happened to us??
