The most important words that should have

emotionless fingertips.
The sound of a beating heart, replaced
by static electricity in your chest,

cute digital faces, and true laughter
can now be expressed in three simple letters:
L-O-L.
Cellular phones attached to your hands and ears,
like malignant growths;
this world has become filled
with vicious monsters with blue teeth.
A concrete forest with streetlight stars;
Make a wish.
I give you my heart, and you suck
all the electricity from it. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 189 [topic] => 21 [informant] => LizSucks [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 18 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Wow, I bow to you. I don't think I've ever before heard this malignant technological age summed up quite so eloquently! A concrete forest with streetlight stars: Make a wish I give you my heart.
Genius :)

How true, how true. It's also infected poetry with the onslaught of text message spelling.

Damn well expressed.

I like this, and of course the irony in using the net to publish. It's a very true poem and I like the point of expressing things verbally, as oppossed to using "emotionless fingertips".
Well done, thanks for posting.

Dear LizSucks,

True to the core I feel
Still technology helps
See this e-mail mode
Somewhere one lives
My emotions now reach
It speaks what I think
Perfect delivery made
Remarkable, incredible
Still the poet is right
A strange sorrow exists
Thank God, Your creation
Is doing great achievement
A really nice write I agree.

With best wishes, Thanking you, Yours truly,

M V VENKATARAMAN

I understand what you are saying and you have put it so well. An amazing poem. However i feel the laziness of people only make technology concour all.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
