Mobile

Life was simple and unrushed There was a certain laze we had more time Along came a device which took overnight Our private time , deep into our lives Denied the simpler pleasures of life Make us enslaved day and night The mobile was here, in the beginning without much scare But then slowly with time Internet and the apps to be online Made us spend most of time Staring at a screen with fingers typing blind Business first prospered Connecting with people became easier Calling someone no matter what time Cause it was a one to one direct line Glancing your eyes to the mobile screen Looking out for a led blinking or a ping Curious to know what came in Every one is to catch a glimpse In middle of talking to someone In middle of driving somewhere In middle of eating sometimes In middle of sleeping too at night We get lured to see Impatient has become the creed Cringing our necks , bending it down Fingers going mad typing all around Eyesights getting poor reading in and out We still indulge, ignore the signs Its a fad to talk and walk Crossing roads while you talk Driving and bluetooth can’t miss any at all Bikers risk everything to take the call Your first love online The romance blossoms in chatty nights the pictures exchange all the time argue, laugh or cry emojis help you any time Arguments and fights Breakups and divorces even online Sad songs to give you company Facebooks likes and dislikes Twitter away like a bird We become slaves to the device Feel abandoned if the network dies Withdrawal symptoms when its taken away Feel that you are cut away that life is so quiet and boring when the ring and ping of the mobile goes missing No matter what you try this device rules your life learn to use it wise children drift away too each in their own digital space simple pleasures of life lost in this digital paradise. Mobile is this a devil in disguise?

I have a mobile for us in emergencies - I much prefer face to face conversation - sadly many people today seem to have mobiles glued permanently to their ears or are texting and on the internet all the time - how i long to turn the clock back to times when we had no electronic devices! :-) hugs jan xx
