Cell & Laptop Screens Cause Blindness

Blue light emitted from the screens of, cell phones and laptop computers
Affects the eye’s lens and cornea blocking it, but the use of sunglasses neuters.
Not looking at the screen in darkness also, can prevent a blue light concentration,
Which causes a nasty eye disease, by the name of macular degeneration.

In Boulder, Colorado a mountain lion, got into a house through a screen.
No one was home at the time of intrusion, but a housecat in its daily routine.
The kitty was no match for the prowess, of the big cat who wanted a snack.
We don’t have to tell you what happened; the kitty will never come back.

Bill Murray it’s said, “assaulted” a photographer, who is 71 years of age.
The age of the photographer in the headline, may be there to induce some false rage.
Bill Murray is 68 this September; three years diff doesn’t mean he’s more agile.
Bill shoved him, brother of Carly Simon, who the piece said is slight and fragile.
The photographer was banned from the restaurant, while Bill resumed eating his meal.
Simon has a new book coming out in which, of this encounter he’ll probably squeal.

Sam Smith said, “I don’t like Michael Jackson”, while hanging out on a boat
With Adam Lambert who was filming the scenery around them while being afloat.
“But this is a good song”, the next part of that sentence, that Lambert’s film recorded.
Now Sam has fan backlash for saying it, on the boat that he shouldn’t have boarded.

The Cost Is Low To Remove Excess Co2 – Why Aren’t They?

The more that we read about carbon dioxide, and how it’s a threat all around,
We still have to wonder what’s going on, when a solution to remove it’s been found.
94 dollars per metric ton is the cost to extract it from the air.
Yet all anyone continues to do, is to argue about how it got there.

The news, the news, there's so much in the news
The daily fabrications are so grand.
You likely won't be seeing much differing of views
Because they're all in lock step, understand?

Thank you! As always, I'm very grateful for your support!

I am very sure also Cause Blindness, sometimes my eyes are foggy.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Looking at the screens in low or unlit surroundings is the worst situation for the damage to affect your eyes. For example, lots of people like to read something on their phone or tablet in bed, before going to sleep each night. This is VERY bad for your eyes and will accelerate the damage.

This has me wondering also, about the use of cellphones for VR. In that case, one's eyes would be surrounded by darkness from the device holding the phone to one's face, while the blue light would be magnified directly into the eyes. High potential for increased damage that would act must faster to bring on blindness.

I totally agree, I do not argue.
And I not know what more to say... you say all :))

Love reading these, I like the way you write about daily stuff in poetic form, very creative and set up to drive dialogue.

Thanks for your nice comment! I have lots of fun writing these each day, and making it a daily exercise has improved my writing to the point that even I notice the progression. Many times, it's the real story that I'm reading as a potential inclusion in the mix each day, that makes me laugh for one reason or another. When that happens, I know I have a really good one to work with. Thanks again! Cheers!
