Save Our Children
From Technology
They are totally addicted
To Technology
It appears to be
Priority
Just so young
A child is handed
A phone
To keep it amused
By Technology
Then it begins
A laptop for school
An ipad for school
Is the teacher teaching?
Or the Technology?
The beeps
The dings
Another message sent
Nothing is completed
Stuff just hidden away
Having to be reminded
Again, Another day
Relaxation
A book
Simply just living
All stolen
By Technology
Can it get better
Or will it get worse
Technology...
Amazing
But
Is it really a curse
We all love it
Cannot live without it
But, what is...
Technology
Doing to Society?

You have asked very nice question and observed the children properly at school. Now a days technology has stolen books and many emotions of children. Powerful writing. Message is there for society.10.
The title would catch my attention anyday. Tech has disadvantages indeed esp the cellphone radiation is cancer causing esp in young kids. Tech is always replacing the human touch and presence, machinizing evryting, roboticizing humans which is harmful. So yor poem is a hardhitting masterpiece, one of your best tour de forces! Tc.
Is technology a boon or a curse to our children.....? This is a serious question worth pondering over! Of course it is a boon and we cannot do away with computers or lap tops and mobile phones! But when Technology becomes an obsession, it becomes a curse! Our children are sadly alienated from the real world and its problems. They live in a virtual world morbidly estranged from their fellow beings! A great write Lyn!
Good day miss paul, is there anyway you could tell me the figurative languauge and the tone usedthis poem? in
This is a relevant piece.....well composed......anjandev roy.
Hi Emma. No I do not have any article and I wrote this poem as my daughter was on her IPAD far too much it was stopping her homework and outdoor activities. We are blessed by the many forms of technology available particularly through the Covid 19. I couldn't live without it. All the best to you.
That is a fair question to ask. Technology has changed society radically, but we are free to reject it. Luckily I don't have the problem of children excessively using smartphones, tablets, computers, and all the rest. I find ordinary books much better than e-books.
This poem is more than Amazing! It is pure Genius! You have managed to so beautifully, Summarize, the whole of our " Technological Society" to perfection. I have never read anything so perfectly well done and so satisfyingly, Complete and True! Congratulations, Lyn Paul
