This blank generation,
That surfs virtual worlds,
Are so untalkative and tense.
They cling to their iphones
Like they were rosary beads.
As though they were keeping
Death's ardent symbols at bay.
They cherish glittering images:
That flood the senses,
Like swarms of mosquitoes.
It seems that we are breeding
A new race of high speed nomads:
Solitary commuters that
Avoid the keen light of communion.
Everything moves so fast.
Neurotics & narcissists
Are in their element.
Stillness is a pipe dream.

Dominic, very nice. Very true about our younger generation. I like the picture. Rate a " 10" and have added it to My Poem List.
Thanks Darwin...much appreciated. Funnily enough, I have some problems communicating with several people via e mail this week...seems they don't read text carefully and simply skim read! I will definitely take a look at your poems and comment, thanks once again!
