Gone


Y, O ,W ,O

You only write once before life goes

Therefore I will write a poem about what is known

Books are dieing and being disguised on the low

 

Technology rules in today's world

I wish I could read a paper back book, I wish I was that girl

 

Day by day I use ti sit up and read

Not knowing eventually it will be ruin by technology

 

It's not the same reading a book on a website

I want paper backs back, not electronic devices

 

Y ,O ,W ,O

You only write once before life goes

I was destroyed when I seen the first Barnes and Noble close

The one next to Toys R Us, the one right up the road

 

Buy a book online they say

It's way easier this way

 

Missing the smell, the touch, the feeling of the book in your hand

This is a technology world rule by the man

 

E book, E text, what is this

I remember I can carry a book in my hand and feel the prints

 

Technology rules in Today's world

I wish I could read a paper back book, I wish I was that girl

 

Y ,O ,W, O

You only write once before life goes

Therfore I wrote a poem about what is known

Books are dead and gone for sure
