Why We've Moved Digital

Why We've Moved Digital

  You know why we've moved digital?
  Do you truly know?
  Let me ask a different question
  Do you know why there is a big push to move digital?
  To abandon print, to forget it, and "save trees"
6  Sanity expresses that it's a new age
  Where we must save the trees
  So we could breathe in the future
  But guess why we did it? Why humanity in all of our valor
  Decided to save trees, the planet
  The printed word
12 Read a word on a Kindle
  Then read that word written on a piece of paper
  Read a word on your smart phone
  Then read that word printed in a magazine
  Read any word from your computer
  Then read those same words in a newspaper
18 Visceral and dense and unyielding
  They exist where your body dwells
  And aren't simply a figment of your "online" experience
  The printed word is cold
  And hits you with a haymaker in your heart
  It makes you shiver and freeze
24 I hope you've heeded these words
  I hope you read them
