Communication Poem by Marjorie Mandahinog

The modern world is full of technology
where humans invest their whole day and energy.
Men and women, young and old, in short, everbody,
are engage in this modern reality.

Technology is beneficial as it provides many solution
to the burdens of the people in all generation.
It also provides us with vast connection
for wider, faster and easier communication.

Oh! COMMUNICATION, what a big word!
It widely occupies the whole world
because everybody communicates either young or old,
may it verbal or non- verbal, well, they should.

Sadly, the true essence of communication is fading fastly
and it is clearly seen even in a single family
because the world, continents, nations or should I say society
Is controlled by this ever-changing technology.

Early morning, you communicate with others through your phone
while mom and dad is trying hard to call your attention
but you can't hear because your headset is on.
That's not a good start of communication!

Yes! you communicate with friends in instagram, facebook or twitter
but forms lesser bonds with your brother or sister.
Remember, they're growing older and the clock is ticking faster.
Your communication skills is not getting better.

Yes! technology makes your experience best.
That's why your gadget is beside you when you're at rest.
but causes you to forgot praying and failed GOD's test
because you're driven by these temptations of the beast.

Imagine the hardships of silent generation just to send their messages
and to communicate without those technologies
Imagine how they carve the inside of the caves,
drawing significant symbols and mysterious faces.

Life today is much easier because of technology
and following the netiquettes is our utmost responsibility.
So we should limit our time of usage everyday
and just communicate with people sincerely and wisely.

We are so lucky and blessed in this generation
because as technology users, we're one in a billion.
Just always bear in mind that the true essence of communication
is found best when it produce brighter and stronger connection.
