Folly

the father is quasi-adept

at dealing with the digital

 

but the onslaught is

unending and unyielding

 

the advertising bloc is

going after the youth

 

the youth need to be online

 

the youth need to be digital

 

the youth need to be digital

like they need digitalis

 

digital is digitalis

 

the binary machine

is a fox in a glove

 

the glow is flower pretty

but xanthopsia and

bradycardia become

metaphors affecting

the digital personality

 

and if taken far enough,

the real personality

becomes affected

 

and now the father

reevaluates his own

position in the

digital world

 

fostering the next generation

of offspring tends to cause

that kind of analysis

 

but the father knows the

human tendency toward

acceptance of willful

slowful poisoning

 

and the next generation

will likely accept it,

rather easily fact

 

parenting is

false prophylaxis

and the advertisers

have always known this

 

accept it or deny it,

the digital reality

considers it irrelevent

 

all one can do is

the best they can,

but as the wise of

old have always said

 

bravery is folly

My friend, I adore your brain, as always, you're clever, and use clever word use to make a great point here. You never fail to make me think, in many ways. I loved the line: "the binary machine
is a fox in a glove " that line could stand as a one-liner, it says so much... good to be back, an read your fantastic stuff. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks a bunch, Elisa. I am glad you say that.

The pleasure is mine Ken! I've missed your words... and will be more online from now on, (I try).

[Kenneth The Poet]

Same here. I will try as well.
