The Human Equation
The human touch does mean so much
As in time and space, we all move along
Cyber spectrums dominate, rule as such
Valuing every move to be right or wrong
Just as being human our thoughts prevail
No matter the cost, whether we win or fail
The metallic hand moves, directs all's time
Fake motions enhanced as in a pantomime
The most appropriate equation we may see
Is a personalized view of both you and me
As a common denominator bridges the gap
Avoiding the computer world and of its trap
The cyborg's jaws clamp shut, teeth do clatter
Comprehending of all humanity as the matter
Realizing his own fate, a scrap heap matinee
While lights flicker out no more game to play
Once productive years are no longer in place
Then put aboard a rocket ship sent into space
Why risk a human life when we don't need to
Saving all of us we can, true lives to embrace
Electronics, cyber world, a welcomed addition
Never should replace humanity, as its intention
Each decision is made and every result in mind
Directly an actualization of the most human kind

These days there is too much emphasis on cyberspace and technology, seeming to forget about the human factor. There has to be a turning point. Blessings for your support my friend. whonu

Yes, in this day and age, we can still make it a choice to keep up with actual human interaction. Nothing can replace this. It still seems very strange to me that virtual worlds exist where people can live fake lives online. Seems to be something terribly wrong with that.
Thanks for this eye-opener!

Your poem made me scrammble for a hug, too.
As American activist and philanthropist , Lynne Twist, says, the day love overides the need for power, all will come good.

Wise words, whonu. Why can't all decisions made have the major focus of preserving life? No one should be risked or sacrificed for any endeavour if it can be avoided.
