After....

mother,

will there still be satellites

to guide us to places we

need to go without a map

after the war?

 

mother,

will there still be social media

so we can all keep in touch

without the need to meet

after the war?

 

mother,

will we still be free to tap

those little cards instead

of using real money

after the war?

 

mother,

will we still be able to believe

anything we see or hear or

will it all be fake or phoney

after the war?

 

mother?

mother?

mother?
