Am I Afraid of Technology?

Am I afraid of technology?
Everytime I learn of a new wonderful thing, an interface of creativity or a nano machine,
I feel a tinge of fear, not even a tinge, but an overwhelming dark cloud,
And I cant help but feel that we try to recreate, what is already around.

Maybe I'm lazy, or my mind is old, maybe the semantics are stressful to hold,
Maybe I should be a cog in the machine?
An inorganic cycle sustaining billions of beings.

Am I like a Christian Scientist? Stubborn about change,
Or am I just weary of the system? growing not vines, but chains.

I realize the benefits of technological progress, such as efficiency and health,
but I fear we play god, forgetting that living on earth itself is a wealth,

I probably am stubborn and fearful, longing for the ways of primitive beings
But I do know that I am a happier healthier man, the less that I stare at a screen
