Silence, complete silence
An oddity in today’s' society
No ring tones or Ipods
Just a man sitting on a bench
Completely lost in his thoughts
No status updates or Tweets
No steady clicks of the keyboard
He writes them down on paper
An archaic device to many
A primitive recording system
He doesn't care what they think
He's living the way he wants
He keeps writing on his pad
Slowly capturing his mind
As he sees life through his eyes
As everyone around him
They stare in complete shock
That he's not using electronics
Or even posting it on social media
They talk about obsolete systems
Whispers about not sharing it online
The guy pays them no mind
If it worked for our ancestors
It still works for modern society
A young man approaches the bench
And begins talking to the old man
A few hours later, the young man
Realizes that he made a greater bond
Then he ever has through the screen
As the man is about to leave
He finally sees the written notes
All it simply stated is as follows:
"Life is meant to be seen through one's eyes
Not through the clicking of keyboards"
