Listen to poem:

Cell Phones

These hand sized gadgets is something we use to communicate 
We use these devices to relate good news that can't wait
We take pictures and create memories of our experiences 
Also to record a conversation or video  criminal offenses
Many addictions have been created as technology evolves
Different social medias and games to keep everyone involved 
One phone seems to vary in cost from another
With apps such as FaceTime to help distant lovers
Those are the advantages but there's also disadvantages 
Those that causes you to put your neighbor in bandages. 
A conversation full of joy or an argument that's perplexed  
You end up taking someone's life while sending a message in a text
You can't drive and focus while someone is screaming in your ear
Attempting to do so is like jumping rope after having a few beers
Know when and how a cell phone should be used
A topic that this current generation has confused

I like this! You really show both the good and bad sides of cell phones in a way that’s easy to relate to. The rhymes keep it fun but the message hits home. It’s true—sometimes we forget when to put the phone down. Nice work!

Thank you for the compliment my fellow poet. This was from full observation and a little bit of personal experience
