Stuck There and Glued

What I see is ashame 
Time lost can't replace
These kids of today
Screens glued to their face

All I see when I look
These kids they don't blink
Their eyes stuck wide open 
Not even a wink

You ask them a question 
A response with no luck
Tunnel vision and hearing
They're glued there and stuck 

They take it all places 
Where ever they are 
The bathroom no doubt
And even the car

They shield with their jackets 
When it's pouring down rain 
Start with full power 
Until the battery drains

Then quick to the charger
To plug it right in
Technology I think
Has ruined our kids
