Generation Neglect
Attention spans declining
faces stuck to their pimp phones
unsmiling addicts they've become
spreading the infection
"mommy-daddy look what I made"
pay attention
we've become generation neglect
we're orphaning our children
if this is a spurt of evolution, we don't need it
we'll have no need for vocal chords or tongues
just long fingers for tickling keys will be the norm
no need to walk or run or have fun
everything is brought to our doorstep
our legs and arms are shrinking
no need for playgrounds
they no longer collect children
only the memories of laughter and dust.
