Mobile Phone Junkies Poem by Kevin Hulme

Mobile Phone Junkies

Rating: 5.0

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.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Just a bit tired of people nearly walking into me, or riding bikes with no hands while on the Phone.

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. 😊
