Phone habits kill

She looked pretty at the Zebra crossing, weaving slowly, her shampooed hair tossing, cars stopped still, to allow her go across, who wouldn’t stop to let a beauty pass! She looked neither to her left nor her right, body cutting out shape in pants bit tight, eyes fixed on the messages on her phone, tripping when side stepping a traffic cone. She continued her walk on the pavement, her gaze on phone, no other engagement, people just getting out of her long strides, moving out, leaning against walls on sides. She will, let us pray, march on and reach home, Walking in a dream with eyes on her phone, Smart phone habits have made people road blind, live in a cyber, not engage their mind. a habit that has cost many their lives, smart phones kill more now than do guns and knives, when use road pay attention to surrounds, watch each step well as your feet touch the ground. not fashionable if on phone walking, drivers, road users find it annoying, drop habit, urge others to do the same, can save lives, limbs, if this habit we tame!

Thanks Dear Thriveni! So happy you like my poem! It is indeed a concern!! Saw a lad crossing busy on her phone with a baby in a pram! Legislation is needed! My very best wishes to you, and thanks for your kind words!

Krish, your great poetry warns against smartphone addiction, especially in public. It warns that phone use can cause accidents and even death by disconnecting people from their surroundings.

Thanks Very much! Indeed, so many road side injuries and accidents as people no longer watch the road! Legally using phone while on the road must be banned!
