Almost Alive Poem by James Kagan Yusufi

People wish for cars that fly
They want everything at a touch
People want everything tomorrow
Not satisfied with today
But as technology evolves, we become less active in body and mind
We forget to play and explore
We lose interest, or have too much
Life that moves too fast, will slow to a stop, we need not flying cars, but to walk and run
Not movies and games that continuously make us lazy
We need to live
Not to be, Almost Alive
