Hardly, a Human Being

Hardly, a Human Being! Get a hammer and garrote that  brainchild,  That demonic smartphone, I propose. That mutant who seduces you, With most amorous rings! Put the sultry siren to rest, Tune into the real world, as it's simply the best! Above all else do not invite family or best friends over for dinner. Place the sultry siren on it, next to your  sweaty palms on the table at dinner, Then start taking calls, checking messages, and avoiding human contact, you dolt! If you are alone with this devious device, have at it, play with it, stay up all night! But never avoid human connection! Thinking, mistakingly that the human is less than that interruptive thing? See...there you go!  Already? Like Road Runner racing, entranced by  ear bling, Lost to its call~ to her captivating  insidious ring! Panagiota Romios 4/9/2019

Love this! Well stated! On time my granddaughter was on her phone. I was alone with her at her house...and the silence. So I texted her, “ hello.” LOL...she looks up and says, “hello Grandma”

Oh, golly, Kim! That is a priceless share and comment. You crack me up. Maybe we all should try "The Rodriguez Method" on adults , too! I am up for it. See how adults act? Can't wait to try it... But no smartphone, can use my iPad to text iPhones... Ick! Morse code language. Panagiota

Hi Panagiota, Wow - a gem - such an intense description and connection with this sultry device - but what we do without them! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Thanks, Jenn! I would be glad to be in a world without them. In my experience people have lost the ability to converse. That's no small thing. Have we forgotten the world has got along just fine without theM? I don't like a world of Emojis or Morse code in emails. What! Will their hands fall off? What's the rush? I am lost. Panagiota

Wonderful poem on a current subject. I think I'm the only person who actually doesn't own a cell phone. The joy of being retired. Have a great day my friend.
