What’s life without a mobile phone?
Perhaps a friend when we’re alone?
While real life happens undetected
So, are we genuinely connected?
A brand-new generation thrives
On this gadget, as their lives
Are caught up in this modern dream
Colluding on this on-line screen…
But in the big, bad world outside
Occur events most want to hide;
To cope, pills come to their defence
As the stark stakes are intense.
Common sense is thrust aside
The voice of reason is denied,
As those who peer o’er parapet
Soon opprobrium collect…
Freedom of speech is curtailed
The world economy derailed;
In many ways, we’re all at sea …
I drone on, letting thoughts roam free …
