The Other Brain

You want to know the answer, all you have to do is ask It will give you instructions, and guidance for every task Where is the nearest café, or closest place to shop? It can take over every action, and it will never stop. It’s like having a second brain every moment of the day To do your thinking for you in a controlling sort of way There’s no problem it can’t solve, or purchase it can’t make With a touch of the screen, it’s alive for Heaven’s sake! It locks you house, and tells you who’s ringing at your door It tracks you kids and packages, who could ask for any more It communicates with the world with a single text To let others know if you’re happy, or maybe vexed. We’ve let this little device take over for our brain With very little effort normal function’s down the drain Those little grey cells used to have a life of their own Now your phone does the thinking, they feel so all alone! So, turn it off, put it down, let your other brain kick in Look at someone eye to eye, let normal dialogue begin! And if I ask for an answer, or what you want to do… Will I get an instant reply, or a vacant stare from you?
