Spinning and weaving
Turning and heaving
Tossing and retrieving
Welcome to the penitentiary of the 21st century
Flat screens glow
Sewers overflow
Atom winds blow
Say farewell to paper mail and dinner home bell
Cyber babies born
Human limbs torn
Alert sirens warn
Hello to the insanity of vanity of new humanity

Good day, This poem reminds me a bit of W.H. Auden…which I mean as a compliment. I like your voice, the simple imagery with a big impact. Well done,
Thank you so very much for your gracious comment and compliment! All the best to you w/blessings!
Thank you for your kind comments. Have a good weekend! Lori
Very dark. Hopefully, a future light will shine.
Despite the poem, I certainly DO believe the light will shine! Thank you, and all the best to you!
I really like this one. Good wordplay and weighty subject matter. Take care.
Thank you, Robert!
Very good!! And of course I absolutely agree with the sentiment.
Thank you!
This is great
Insanity is the new humanity
Just love it
Keep them coming
Thank you so much, my friend!
