World At Our Fingers

World at our fingers Generations of wish, Bring moments of bliss. A new to the world of waiting We have the world at our fingers. Great minds worked hard, Laboring for the fruit of pleasure Testing and failing then failing to test, They had the world at their fingers. The ads went up, Preparing us for the better life Still waiting to come Would we have the world at our fingers? Date stored on numbered grids, Talk of the future, talk of the town, Doubts quickly fleeing our mind, We would have the world at our fingers. The day is here Lines miles and miles long No cutting the line allowed Waiting to get the world at our fingers. Today, Fingers aren’t needed to reach the world, Just speak to it, And you have the world at your fingers. With the world at our fingers, We do nothing but fun After hours we aren’t even done. All of the knowledge of mankind is one touch away, Yet we do nothing all day. With the world at our fingers, Cat videos prevail, Over knowledge from lives so frail, Curiosity crushed with electronic plans, Engulfed by the screen, blinded by scams Even with the world at our fingers We still hold tight to immediate pleasures No matter the measures Bringing us to our fall Will you choose to break your own thrall?
