The Veldt Poem

Modern Angst

Though families live in the same home

They could not be more alone

Daddy watches TV, while mommy listens to CD’s

As Grandpa wonders if this is the new society

We are drowning in social media

But what is social  about it?

Technology is grabbing hold of us, bit by bit

If children do not have a device on them,

They throw a fit

Why can’t anybody admit

We have every technological device

But no, it simply won’t suffice

 Families drift apart

We better go back to the start

Though it will only get worse

This problem has no solution

in our universe
