The Downfall of the Phone

F**k cell phones

Why must there be phones?

I trust you know

I just want to be left alone

Phones are meaningless

They distract, and

cause her to piss and moan,

Saying,

You never text back

You never call back

Well,

I say,

You never smile back

You never laugh back

at the jokes I say

The compliments I breathe 

to you

in person

Face to face

That has all been replaced

We lack physicality

Substituted with a bullshit reality

We carry our friends in or pockets now

While some just want to be

left alone

Leave me alone,

I don't want to hear the 

vibrations

the ring ring ring ring ring

the buzz buzz f*****g buzz

The beep beep beep

plug me in the wall so I can nourish

People treat their phones like babies,

they dress them in cute outfits,

they drop them,

give them scars,

pick them right back up and 

start chatting away,

ignoring the rest of us

Why do people insist

On being in constant contact

With each other

Is there really 

A need

To know

F**k updates

Notification

friend requests,

Friend Requests?

I don't even know you!

F**k you!

Put your f*****g phone down

And look at me,

Say something

Move your lips

Rest your thumbs

Press the OFF button

For once,

and just laugh with me,

and not 'out loud'

I really enjoyed this because it is just how reality is today! Why can't people send letters anymore or even e-mails? By the way, it's sickening to know how with cell phones, it allows us to type how we want (when texting) and it makes people seem so illiterate...like, they feel they have to abbreaviate nearly EVERY word they f*****g type. Like, is it so difficult to type out a simple word, much less a sentence nowadays? Wow, typing one word, SO MUCH WORK! But yeah, I miss the physical presence of people and sad how phones and technology have literally consumed people and we have drastically lost contact with the normal world. Plunging deeper into the robot and slowly becoming a follower.
