Disappear into your smart phone
the world outside is doomed
Your few remaining human traits
have long since left the room
Disappear into your smart phone
all life beyond is lost
Your feelings truly virtual
you've paid a mighty cost
Disappear into your smart phone
while others stand beside
And just like you they tap their screens
faint proof that they're alive
Disappear into your smart phone
as time is winding down
All spirit tapped, emotion strapped
your history lost, unfound
Disappear into your smart phone
that bed you've left unmade
Your spirit cries as memory dies
whose LaLa land you crave
Disappear into your smart phone
its power now supreme
Your knowledge mapped and future trapped
—your destiny undreamed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September,2018)

Techno era is truly life lived in lalaland.... in my country lala=sleep. Techoholics do disappear into their gadgets for sure. Enjoyed the read thank you.
