I found this poem while checking out the voting booth, and I'm glad I did. This covers just about every destructive element about these necessary little evils. I'm required to have a cell phone, as I have to use one to clock in and out of my job. I have an old flip phone, and I plan never to upgrade, as I only want it for my job, to make and receive calls--no more.

We make it a practice to leave our cellphone in the car. We do not ever take it in to a restaurant or any other place where face to face social interaction is to occur. Thanks again for the rating. Much appreciated.

Great rhyming going well with all your ideas on the social media. Yes it can be very addictive. I see the guy is reading his phone while on a date. No, I wouldnt like that much. Haha.
ABAB rhyme really sets this apart as a well thought out work. I think though people will wake up to themselves and learn to socially interact again. Even before phone usage, the speech between the sexes was limited if not violent!
I really enjoy your work, thanks.

Thank you so much for your kind comments and the rating. I am so pleased you enjoyed the work. I am appalled by the ignorance of some cell phone users when among family and friends, they ignore people with whom they sit to talk or play with their phones. Disgusting.

Truly worded, across the world, cellphone is abused, social sites are making secret profits, digital addiction is causing harm and loss of resources and time, writing spirit is at low ebb; well said, well done. Keep Writing Inspire Changing! -- DR ALCREATOR

Flowing through out format eloquently then a bit of abrupt ending. Great material to work with on the subject matter of the Poem.
Good Luck and God Bless you.
