Closeted Emotions
We once embraced and knocked our knees
Now we are tied to our phones and keys
Human interaction seems to fade away
As our internet capabilities are here to stay
Plucking away on the Facebook page
Sends me into an inner rage
Watching our young and how they react
Has changed our lives and that’s a fact
How can we teach them how to enjoy a touch
A warm embrace, the thrill of a crush
Interaction is what we really need
To form a society that will be freed
To stop our moans and groans
We need to limit time on our phones!

Dear Clentin,
Very well stated:
"Interaction is what we really need
To form a society that will be freed
To stop our moans and groans
We need to limit time on our phones!"
Exactly!!!
fondly, Cat

Cell phones are nothing more than a disease or a cancer. You spoke well of our situation and that of our posterity. My question is, where will it end? I think that I know we'll all burn! Another great poem!

I wrote this poem after seeing a family in a restaurant eating, not saying a word, the Mother, Father and 4 children were on their cell phones!
