Android Charlie: The Sequel: the Drama
Android Charlie II:The Sequel: The Drama
OH, Charlie had money alright!
A great house, wife,and a quite intelligent child, too!
Very opulent, he!
Three cars, vacations and a complete
lifestyle, too.
Alas, those cell phones came along!
Charlie just had to become part of
that techie crowd.
Soon the phone took the place of his wife!
Tell the truth, of his entire life!
And any visitor to his once warm and friendly home?
Well, now, a sad update~all relatives and friends,
in total silence do sit, while Charlie,lost soul,he,
Only had eyes and time for his phone!
Charlie, unknowingly treated his guests
as less than gnats!
No jovial conversation ever ensued.
Only if the TV, with irritation,screamed: Breaking News!
Yes, this meaningless drivel~ made Charlie swivel?
As to his phone ,it sadly appeared. permanently glued to his hand.
Dinners with candles, are you serious?
Once grand and beauteous were never lit!
Just his pasty white face, how ghastly
it looked.
Like a stiff corpse in a coffin.
My Lord, what a technological schnook.
Now that once laughter-filled abode
stands empty!
The front door swings forever open.
Yes, Charlie is still there, totally and
blissfully unaware,
His wife and child have had enough,
Of a tragic life sans human
communication!
A scene not unusual in any nation!
Get a lockbox for your smartphones,
if that addicted you are.
Unless you are a surgeon on call,
best love the humans next to you.
And sorry, but I will not rejoice in texts
nor Emojis.
These are far from human attributes!
And no, neither funny nor cozy,
We need not fear, true, warm living
communication.
Just realize that God gave us tongues
to speak with and ears to hear.
Live life in the real world as much
as you can.
You are loved by people!
Not by the devices in the technological nation.

Panagiota, what a great write, and I totally agree, people are too addicted to their cell phones, I have one, but just use it for what I need. I recently had coffee with a friend, she spent all the time on her cell rather than talking to me, I thought it was incredibly rude and pathetic. I am never, ever going to have coffee with her again.... might as well have been by myself, I think that would even had been better ~

There'a a sign outside a Greek coffee shop in Canada. It says "We have no W-FI! Talk to your friends, you 'malakas'(wankers)."Maybe you can tell her how you feel and have some ground rules? Some are beyond rules.I avoid such wankers totally,I do know how you feel.Sorry,Dear Heart!You need a new friend? Send her to "MA..Malakas Anonymous" LOL
