Winning Poem

 

Feelings Lost

By Clentin

We once embraced and knocked our knees
Now we are tied to our phones and keys

Human interaction seems to fade away
As our internet capabilities are here to stay

Plucking away on the facebook page
Sends me into an inner rage

Watching our young and how they react
Has changed our lives and that’s a fact

How can we teach them how to enjoy a touch
A warm embrace, the thrill of a crush

Interaction is what we really need
To form a society that will be freed

To stop our moans and groans
We need to limit time on our phones!

Well deserved winner

Absolutely love this.
Simple but so sadly true.
Humanity has pulled apart, and human touch is very lacking.
