Techno-peasant

being a techno-peasant      technology is difficult      yet i find myself in a techno world

i work on the computer daily   talk on my phone       still i am alien to this world

young people know      are way out in front               go everywhere without fear

shop                    check spelling and definitions         wikipedia

in my day           we looked things up at the library    never thought

we would have the library at home     or on the phone or        on your watch

the world flies by too fast for me      slow down          have a cup of tea

tell me how you feel    smell the bindings on the books          are kids smarter today

i think so        or they have access to more info           being the turtle in the race

i just try to stay afloat       come from behind               try to remember what i wrote
