O, life before the screen
Will you desert us completely?
Fade not into our memory
For we need you more than dearly
O, life before the screen
Where letters were stroked to life
Where games were played outside
Where friendships were built with the eyes.
O, where families spoke at every meal
Where children pranced in the greens of fields
Where spines of books were crimpled and creased.
O, where birds tweeted,
Where cookies were eaten,
Where the apple in A was an apple indeed.
O, life before the screen,
Will you desert us completely..
-AfterTim-
So, so true
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree. Its tragic in many ways. Thank you Liz for dropping by. Hope to hear from you more!
ReplyDelete"Where the apple in A was an apple indeed"!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that these days A is for Apple, B is for Blackberry, C is for Chat, D is for Download, E is for Email, F is for Facebook, G is for Google...etc
You read it exactly right, Jasmine. Thought it may not have come across as clearly. Guess I thought wrong!
ReplyDeleteTrue. We are sacrificing lot of good things for the small screen.
ReplyDeleteSacrificing a lot of good things indeed, George. Grateful for your visit. Hope to hear from you more.
