Society's evolved in many ways,
As it's been wont to do throughout the years.
More leisure time now fills our average days,
And Boredom rivals other primal fears.
Though blessed with countless ways to occupy
Our time productively, we often fail
To make the most of it, but mollify
That lassitude which does our Sense assail:
Senselessly watching worlds diverse from ours,
Regurgitated shows far less than real,
Virtual weapons, imaginary powers -
Our fleeting useful hours distractions steal.
Profoundest loss Society's incurred
Is dwindled fondness for the written word.
