Cell Phone Phenomenon

by Carol Connell © 2017
https://writeathome.wordpress.com/

We stare at it while we cross the street.

It must accompany us when with friends we meet.

Oh, why can't we seem to leave it alone;

this technological wonder we call the cell phone?



The husband and wife go out to dinner

to have quality time alone;

as they sit across from each other,

both of them on their phone.



And what shall we do with our cell phone next?

Should we start a photo stream or send out a text?

Our day is just not complete, it seems

without sending or receiving the latest memes.



Of course, there are amusements and games galore

to keep you awake until 3 or 4.

And there's pressure to upgrade to the latest.

That I-phone 1,000 is just the greatest!



The apps to choose from can catch your breath.

There is even one to predict your own death!

Oh, all the wonders the cell phone is giving.

Before its' time we weren't really living.



It's a glorious device upon which we spend time,

almost without care, reason or rhyme.

It's so easy to squander the minutes away

held in the cell phone's hypnotic sway.



You may think I'm totally under delusion,

but my ponderings have brought me to this conclusion.

If cell phone time was replaced with prayer and reading the Bible

we'd have an earth shaking, devil chasing, Heaven sent revival!
