Inherent Danger: The Art of Being Human series - Christian Lindbeck (Eph. 5:15-17; Gal. 2:20)

Gadgets galore
chitter and glitter,
bling, bling -
give me more!

Double-edged swords:
potential soul suckers
and awesome achievements
each and all.
Designed to meet needs
we never knew we had
until
we can't exist 
without them.

Juggling chainsaws
might be safer
than navigating
smart phones today.
Dynamite in your pocket -
handle with care.

Sacred minutes are
limited things -
golden coins 
to spend 
or waste.
Oh, the treasure chest
a day is!
This gift
is ours to invest
or ingest
but are we free
to choose
or pulled by strings
tied on to gadgets
by merchandisers
devoted to devouring
our golden minutes
one by precious
one.

Beware, beware -
all that glitters
and chitters
and pulls and pulls
is not gold,
and ultimately
can never satisfy
since its very purpose
is to produce
craving
and therefore
chains.

Handle
with care,
inherent danger
is everywhere.
