To Technology and Humans (Burns Stanza)

by @chuck-1

Your limitless future brings great fear The future is less far and more near Glasses will replace cellphones next year Hundreds can share one's eyes People you replace will shed a tear Tech is human's demise You con with lights and buttons and bells Amplifying strength, you fit in cells We drown in technological wells You thrive and humans shrink The addiction will rot us in Hell People! Log off and think! When do we cease with this life carefree It's time people let well enough be Tech will soon replace humans for free Tractors and new machines Starved, by stealing the jobs of many Limitations obscene

Notes

Robert Burns is my favorite poet! It is an honor to use his stanza form. I am not crazy. I just had a conversation with my friend about the benefits and detriments of future technologies. Check out Google Glass!
