Science Fiction - The Phone Implants Poem by Paul Warren

It was the newest craze that swept the world
Phone implants that meant no phone need to be held
So now all you needed to do is touch in the spot
And think of who you wanted to ring in this modern plot
It was instant communication that was neat
The electronics experts touted it as a great feat

Then one day things changed so quickly for the population
The millions with implants stood still starting at a new equation
No-one knew what was the meaning of this strange behaviour
And try as they may each proposed antidote was a failure
Two days later they changed again and commenced their new program
Taking over the world in something that wasn't a sham

This went on for a week whilst the world fought to survive
As we lost the planet when it became a struggle to stay alive
Then the night sky became lit by the spaceships as they flew low
When it was apparent that they were not here for a light show
So this part of the mystery was solved of why the implants malfunctioned
And the fight for the salvation of the world continues without compunction.
