Who Is Needed - Virtual Friend Or Real Friend? Poem by Ramesh T A

Friends were good companions in work and life in the past;
When that was not possible for many, books became best friends;
After TV and computers came into vogue, no others were needed;
Now no one requires friends but only computer or smart phone!

Many are addicted to Computers or smart phones for life sure;
Whether they stand on platform for bus or travelling in it or
They go on a long journey in a train or in a car or sit in beach,
It is enough to have smart phone to spend time sans seeing outside!

Wherever they go, they never care to see who are all siting by
Their side or take the opportunity to have a chat to have any
Friendship with one or two, for, more than them, smart phone is
The best bet to get ideas, play games and see videos and movies!

Virtual friends are more than real friends and are enough to
Do all they want and so, there is no chance for realizing the
Need for a companion in reality unless one falls ill on bed
Needing some physical assistance to do anything in real life!
