These Computers!

Beside the mucky table typing,

On the sweaty keyboard riding,

With aching fingers shivering about,

And bloodshed eyes popping out

They work on these computers!

They work as students, clerks and tutors

Then slowly the screen starts flickering,

But they! They keep on clicking,

They click images, they click the text

They click folders and whatever next!

Now they are lost, into the band

Of those little letters at hand

No heed they pay to others,

Be it younger or elders

No wonder why don’t they hear us?

They work on these computers!

A fact about life we all have to accept, its gradually taking over our life's, these days you just can't help it but to rely on technology, computers. nice write

[Emberlorna]

I agree with what InsanityWriter says. We have to be careful or technology can take over our lives. And there is so much more to life that we're missing.. I really liked this piece :} thanks for sharing

[InsanityWriter]

Very witty. :) Technology is a good thing, being too over attached to it is not. (: Great write!

[Alexa Tasch]

Today's society has become entirely too focused on technology. A creative way to express the truth. Nicely done!

[Michael G.]

I really like this one, you can hear the keys click as you read it and the message is so true. I am trying to write a set of short stories based on the net, one done and one nearly there.

[amarlaksh]
