Fingers Doing the Talking - Lyrics Cliche Image Contest

they sit 
faces blank .....
fingers working up speed
the writing is on the wall.. the
art of conversation has died
no longer do you hear
sound of voices raised in anger or passion
now just silence....
life goes on, looking, searching,
looking for that something,
looking for ...yet they never find
that special person....
somewhere..... over the rainbow
life lies....images of how life could be
if only, ahhh, if only,
I could win the lottery...
not having to work, 
buy whatever I wanted
bigger and better mobile phones maybe
to sit there faces blank....
fingers tapping at speed.
If this is the now way of talking.....
what does the future hold!!!!!


I used:
writing on the wall
somewhere over the rainbow
