Connected?

Wandering all over the place, like a Gypsy

There is a misnomer for sure

Gypsy have always had someplace to be... in mind

Other people just have a different perspective in kind

Treated as inferior, for their views...

What are they anyhow?

If you know, let me find out now

 

Thinking I know... I will blaze ahead

They follow ancient migratory routes

That's good but, that life-style is dead

Caravans are not only for the desert

I see them all the time

Truckers used to do it, on CB megahertz

Now cell-phones and GPS

Take away the personal note

Gone is the warmth, of a good old jacket

Now the soccer-moms

In their Caravans

Get together and brunch

Always saying I'll see you later

Maybe we'll do lunch

Knowing they are too busy...

And isolated by modern communication

Sad but true. Most of us

Sad but true. Most of us have forgotten the real art of communication. Thanks for the reminder. Well done! ~A "...when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." ~ Buddha

how true....

Communication is something of the past.....so difficult to make people listen....to have them squeeze you in to their busy schedule....

Great Poem

And you are right, too much lack of communication and a lot of disconnection. Love to you and yours. Lyz. XX
