The World Wide Web

AKA "The World Wide Wait"

Why "Wait?"

Signs of the Times

A Feeding Frenzy of Information

And More and More

Feeding us past the level of

Gluttony

Not only - Faster and Faster

Contest after Contest

Between Million-Dollar Corporations,

Competing for Your

Undivided Attention,

Serving You Info Needed

And Unnecessary.

The Time Has Come

The Information Age

The Digital Highway

And the Digital Generation

Are All Here -

Now.



The World Wide Wait?

No, thank you,

I'd rather "wait"

For my lover's kisses,

A morning sunrise,

Fresh-from-the-print newspaper

Or a friend's new letter.

To slow down,

To savor every precious moment

Without the need for

Speed

Is the Real Key

To Today's "World Wide Wait"

Writer Profile
Mona Lisa


Greetings! My name is Mona Lisa. I'm a Filipina who was born and raised in Rome, Italy, and educated in American, international schools. I just recently discovered the joy and pleasure of writing and composing poetry and thinking up of story plots, characterization, etc. for both children's and adult stories...just haven't finished these yet! So for now, I'm sticking to poetry!
