They demand total devotion with unedited glee
They seek complete attention and obedience for free
Ubiquitous creatures on a ruinous spree
Mobiles are the bane of the 21stcentury
Whilst driving in the midst of heavy traffic
Or sailing on a cruise ship in the Pacific
You pick it up in air in water on land. In the bathroom!
In the middle of your wedding even if you are the groom
It gives you information and news 24X7
Every ‘tring’ is like manna from heaven
You dare not ignore its messages and posts
It will haunt you forever like Casper the ghost
Social media has you eagerly lap up its hogwash
With a chilling influence it completes your brainwash
You are no longer in control of what you believe
Before you fully fathom you lose ability to sieve
It now rings in your head even when switched off
More expensive the handset the more it shows off
The comfort of a boring black box I used to call telephone
I recall some ancient Neanderthal age in which I have grown
Lovely 👍
