Previous Generations Poem by Soran M. H
Previous Generations
You never saw
the information revolution
coming.
Sometimes,
it would transform people
into machines.
At other times,
it would carry them
so far beyond reality
that reality itself
could no longer
reach them.
They believed
they were happy.
But where are they now?
We believe
we are the fortunate ones—
yet even we
have no idea
what waits for us
behind the next door.
A human being
can build
a perfect world
inside the architecture
of imagination.
In dreams,
wishes come true.
And when
the doors of hope
are locked,
never mind—
the moral question
remains.
Across the decades,
truth and falsehood
travel like parallel lines,
never meeting,
yet forever dividing
one generation
from another—
from the days
before electricity
found its way
into our lives,
all the way
to this uncertain moment.
And perhaps
the greatest mystery
is not what
the future will bring,
but whether
we will...
Dear poet Tom, Hello, Thank you for sparing your time to read my humble poem, , really your generous commentary encouraging me to write better, kind regards keep writing and stay blessed
The moral issue! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Soran the old world meets the new and are we any better off spiritually and ethically speaking. For we are capable as a species of such wondrous dreams and darkest nightmares both human history has taught us time after time, do become reality. And do we deserve to take the next evolutionary step, if there is one? Five stars Soran for sharing a real thinker's poem. I wish you well and I'm glad I found your captivating morality poem. Take care.
Dear Rose hello, Never mind, the moral is our path in the past and the future, that is a common and global language we can understand each others through it, really your valuable comments obviously enrich the poems, I hope you have enjoyed it, Many Thanks
" When the doors of hope are locked Never mind, the moral issue is still the same...." Brilliant lines of a wonderful poem. Onto my Poem List.
A very perceptive write imbued with insight. The moral fiber of society will always be the same despite the advance of technology. People may change but the mores and values embedded remain constant.
WELL DONE Professor Edward, The moral issue IS THE ESSENTIAL PART IN THIS POEM, YOU ARE A GOOD POET AND READER TOO, EXCELLENT
