Zombyism Poem by Donna Pelan

While atmy favorite coffee shop this morning
Much to my dispair
I noticed cases of zombyism
Hanging in the air

It seems the way of the future
Or so I have been told
To be oblivious to others
To be lost in their own world

With a blackberry in one hand
And an I-pod in their ear
No one thought to smile at others
Or pass along a little cheer

II wonder if they took the time
To hug their kids today
And saved a little of them selves
To smell the roses along the way
