Poem
What happen to the days when we would go outside to play Being stuck behind a phone screen is what we now do these days Caught up in all these social media trends A couple thousand followers But which ones are your friends Exstistence has changed a lot And our smart phones are the sin Can't even have a conversation Without looking on Facebook to check in But what can you really say to people behind a screen Social media has us hooked And we're to blind to see How were being bought by the smart phone industry Just go outside and look around You won't find many without there heads down Because we're so caught up in the moment Of what's happening online That the person your ment to be with just passed by You will never know how that first date feels The first year of marriage eating burnt meals The way she looks when she holds your son The arguments when you say your done Then later kiss and make up and have some fun To the moment when your holding her hand on her death bed And thinking of all the things you could have said But you didn't because you were on Facebook instead If we could just only take a minute to go out in the world and have a conversation face to face You will be surprised at how little effort it takes Nothing gets accomplished by being on our phones This world is be turned into social media drones So turn off your phones, laptops, and iPads And show the world how you can raise above that Because you deserve to know how special you really are And nobody can tell you that on social media anyhow So don't let the social media industry define your tune Go out into the world and let the real things inspire you
