We were the proud
We stood tall above the city,
Astonishing
Horrifying
Enlightening
We did it all.
But they have forgotten us.
Cast us aside for the sleek,
the shiny,
the fast.
They’ve moved on to a new state of mind.
Now information, which we once
Labored to find, can be spread
Around the world the day of its creation.
This is a place where the
Uninformed and their opinions
Reign supreme and the
Loud, arguing masses drown out
Any attempt at balanced,
Reasonable
Discussion.
We’ve tried playing their way;
Hired upstarts who can
Navigate this new land with
Ease.
But the public no longer responds.
No longer cares.
And our numbers keep dropping.
So we are dying..
But rather than mourning, let’s enjoy
The time we have left.
