When Did We Evolve Poem by Alison Smith

What is it about we humans?
That so many of us are alone
That we seek to form a partnership
And will go any where to do so.

How is it we can communicate
Those feelings of love that we share
Over the ether to others
When did we evolve to this stage?

Once man built a relationship
By courting with gifts, flowers and Touch.
When did we evolve to were
Word can replace this and more?

Once we needed to be touched to make love
Now words can make our bodies quiver
Now we seem to enjoy it all with words on a screen
Will we soon create a new life this way too?

Has the 'I Robot' already occurred?
And if so how long has it been so?
Are our emotions so destroyed
That we can create a relationship with word?
