Blissful Ignorance

Ignorant is bliss,
I've stopped noting, Miss.
Warfare, a computer game,
Pushing buttons no longer lame.
Brainwashing starts at school,
To be smart -you must play the fool.
Satellites cramped in space,
Big Brother watching your face.
Micro-chipping -the next 'in' thing,
Next they'll be introducing braincell-pins.
Organised crime legitimised,
Don't let them cover-up your eyes.
Ignorant is bliss
I've got my notes, Miss.

Our Broken World

It's difficult to change the world, In bedlam, screams are seldom heard, If verse and prose could shape the times, Then war and hate would be old crimes, Forgotten, distant memories Romantics would...

Inspired by @Nom. A phone. Oh a phone I see. Placed away in your pocket. Hiding from me. Although you grab it out. And start to text. Make calls and SMS. It's so sad. Sad I say.

The Dark, Evil Virus?

According to the Observer a few weeks ago, a new computer virus has been written that can't be detected or dealt with by any current anti-virus software.

The 'R3@L' World.

Remember when we all used words. That time so long ago. When 'C U L8R' wasn't that, It was 'know' instead of 'no'. Remember when we taught to spell, And every write was art.
