Losing Intuition

The detrimental

Byproduct of technology

Is that we are losing

Our intuition

.

No longer retaining an

Obi-Wan Jedi Knight

Knowing of any great

Disturbance in the force

.

Clever or catastrophic

Tiny or Titanic

We’ll just wait until

We see it on TV

.

Even mom’s spidey-senses

Of impending danger or

A child’s location is

Diminishing digitally

.

As their whereabouts are

Tracked and triangulated

As long as the signal has

Enough bars and is charged

.

Like not having to exercise

One’s own unused memory

As to where the car is parked

It is just a click and beep away

.

Will we ever get it back

Or will it be like our last

Nerve synapse that fails

Before sinking into an abyss

.

Turning our humanity

Over to the mean machine

Pondering this trying to realize

We’ve allowed to dehumanize

.

A two to one word change

Does not a parody make

My apologies to R.E.M.

.

“That’s me in the corner

That’s me in the spot-light

Losing intuition

Trying to keep up with you

And I don’t know if I can do it

Oh no I’ve said too much

I haven’t said enough”

.

“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
