The Screen
June 9, 2013
All the world bustles about
staring at a screen
the people talk to each other without a sound
society keeps on going, consequences unforeseen
The people stare at their device
perplexed, the people are entrapped by the machine
they cannot look away, for they are enticed.
It has become part of their routine.
The elders shake their heads
for they cannot possibly understand
how the young can be wed
to a cell phone in their hand
How can we solve a problem this widespread?
Put the phone down, look straight ahead
