Sinister

It takes your money and robs you of time,
Chimes for attention, and rings with crime.

Your give it the power to mold and control
Unending hours, absorbed by its hold.

An instant response is expected, demanded.
Heeded is good but delayed? Reprimanded!

All in-person prowess becomes diminished.
Face to face talking so rarely gets finished.

A bully’s bat and a hacker’s treasure
Anonymity’s cover and popularity's measure.

The catfish pool where deceivers swim
And ransoms demanded at every whim.

Larceny’s tool for the unsuspecting,
Innocent calls for fund redirecting.

Our sense of purity known implicitly,
Is replaced with images shown explicitly.

It was made for our good, but buyer beware
There are dangers galore lurking there.

Be not deceived, what you hold is quite sinister
That cell phone of yours is a devious minister.
