    I thought I was the only one! I'm putting this poem in my favourites. I don't even have a phone anymore. The world has become absolutely ridiculous, hasn't it?
    Go to a restaurant and there's mothers and fathers ignoring their children while they text or tweet or whatever people are doing all the time.
    People go out with each other and spend the whole time on their phones to someone else! You have got no idea how much I relate to this poem - I've done a few about this topic myself. It really is so damaging, this phone craze of ours, especially for kids who can view just about anything they want now. We have, I'm afraid, lost touch of reality; people are living false lives and forgetting those around them.
    All the very best and a great write with another excellent rhyming flow

      Thanks! I very much agree with what your saying. Our world has become electrified and lonely. I think we should say that we like something rather than texting it or clicking a button that shows almost no satisfaction or appreciation! Thanks for writing!

    I dont really "check" the arthur's bio if I read a poem from them but if yours is true, than you my friend are a brilliant writer... And if someone doubts me all they have to do is to read this poem...
