Future

Are we living
In the last of
The simple
Times before
Web link-up,
When a chip
Implant links
Us to the web
To surf till death.
What fantasy worlds
Will replace our
Resource-depleted
Planet allowing us
All to cruise in comfort
In an alternate reality,
A mass of humanity
In constant contact
Continuously
Communicating
Ostracizing those
Not linked together,
Deploring the
Cyber luddites
Who opt out
Preferring
Solitude
To artificial
Electronic
Togetherness.
Will those
Hold outs
Be the
Caretakers
Of humanity.
