It’s a depressing sight
Laughable too
Humans, grown
Much too big for toys
Stand slack jawed
Often blocking pedestrians
Or stuck on a staircase
Mindless yet focussed on
Blue screens
Scrolling
Trolling
Swiping
Whatever you have it
A pocket device
Holds so much power
Over the mindless majority
That when its battery runs out
Or it finally fails to work
A human, grown
Much too big for toys
Rushes out to get a charger, a replacement
Whatever you have it
To feel a sense of security
Connection to the anti-reality
Mindless many
Focussed few
Humans, grown
Much too big for toys
Contented
Insightful and haunting. 👏👏
