Solitary Beings

They will grow up as solitary beings

Hooked on to their TV screens

Wearing soda glasses before their teens

Cut off from outside remained unseen

They will grow up lacking social skills

Closeted in homes, playing video games

Moving fingers on the mouse pad

Tapping on key board; so sad

They will grow up not experiencing

Joys of outdoors, seasons changing

Strapped to seats, they'll be missing

Cycling down hills, into trees colliding

They will grow up without real friends

Communicating through the internet

Homes will not ring with laughter

Childhood robbed; technology taken over
