As today is World poetry day, we present to you a poem by Blogger Nandip Aulak:
#Nostalgic
We've replaced smiles
With swipes and likes
Tweets instead of notes
Computer games for bikes
Rowing machine for boats
Now memories live in PCs
We forget the moment
Robots until we freeze
Slaves to every component
Falling in love at first sight
We Photoshop to beautify
Swipe left or swipe right
Now left means goodbye
Emotions now emoji's 

I'm laughing out loud
Or I'm thinking OMG
I'm lost in this cloud
We're all sitting down
Yet we're rushed off our feet
Responding to messages
Invitations just to speak
No maps with grids
I don't need to navigate
Google does it for me
It's mans new best mate
Your status says it all
Forget old handshakes
No gesture to big or small
Permanent history of mistakes
Updates, tweets, likes and shares
We've lost human connection
Cartoon faces to show we care
Delete is a new form of rejection
And polls tell us what's fair
A world governed by analytics
What about our instincts?
When did we become a statistic
Soon we might just be extinct
This virus is here to stay
It's as common as the cold
A youthful child at play
It refreshes as we grow old
I'm child of the 80's
Thank goodness for that
I played out and climbed trees
Instead of playing whilst I'm sat
