First World

Devils can be seen in the eyes

Jinns can be felt in the soul

Man is twisted in eyes of man

We've lost knowledge

The Sun no longer controls our life

Iphones and tablets keep us centered

Ignorance keeps us entertained

Teen moms and Jersey jokes

Are our role models

Wisdom is words spoken

By the wise person

Who is being silenced

To the blind, deaf, and dumb

Without Knowledge and Wisdom

Understanding can't be achieved

False idols reign supreme

Poisoning the culture

That you and I share

Infecting the dome

That is placed upon your head

~ even i am not very comfortable with the kind of gadget-addiction that exists today... it has a terrible impact on our attention span... and our ability to think about complex subjects... ~ in india, twitter (though not a gadget) is destroying many minds... ~ great piece...

I like your wise words and poem...:)

society is being dumbed down and so many do not realize it. I often find more people worried about reality show results than the state of affairs of our country and children. Well done Poet.
