Wireless World

 

The world won't wait on us

we are always running behind

the world keeps on spinning

with new inventions

new ideas

changing constantly

you barely learn one thing

then the next thing comes along

those of us trapped in between

get confused or left behind

we don't understand technology

we only know black and white

we know fire

and we know rain

we know what was

what used to be

we don't plug in

we don't Ruku or Netflex

we think Live-Streaming

is a show about trout fishing

we think The Cloud

is a passing weather phenomenon

we think Fortnite is simply two weeks

we are now in a wireless world but

we were raised with wires

and wires keep us tethered still

to all we care to know.

I can identify d.k. with what you're saying -but- I have fond memories 50 year back of listening to 'Journey into Space' while gazing into the back of the wireless at all the lit up valves. ?

very clever dk

But

You've confused me a bit about Ruku
Cos isn't this some kinda pottery?
That you bake in a kiln, (Japanese'y I think)
It's called Raku, a piece that I've gottery

Just noticed you tethered to ground
You poor man so wired all around
Gone mucked up my method of rhyming
I'm all out of kilter lost my timing

Leave me in wireless land watching clouds go by......?

A man lost in Lilliput
tethered to the ground.
