To the phone users lift up your heads;
For you appear as mourners in prayer for the dead.
Look all around where Nature is shown;
Where Colour and Scent are by Gaia once Sown.
With the Birds in the fields and their song to the Heart:
The Blackbird, Robin, Mistle Thrush And Lark.
Look to the Sky for the Enamel of Blue;
The Red boiling cloud with the Sun plunging through.
Where by after dusk the Heavens will spawn;
A spreading of Stars that prelude the bright dawn.
So to the phone users just once, come away from the screen;
Don't clutter the mind with the trash to be seen.
Lift up the mind along with the head,
The World around us is where true pleasure is wed.
A beautiful poem. May we read it on our mobile phones before we look up?
I don't mind people reading Poetry on their Phones or anything educational. It's when it's Social Media trash.
This poem resonates with me. Technology has taken humanity to a different world with a little love and care. I hope that ' little' will not be taken away completely. A heartfelt and beautiful poem.
When people say they like your poem, it makes the Pen & Paper beside the bed, and walking down the Street in your own World getting lines right, Worthwhile. 😊
