‘Smartphonies’ engage at a flicker
on their ubiquitous gadgets
spouting latest cool banter quicker
regressed in abysmal habits.
Hail, Time Gobbling Vulture
of the texting kind!
In virtual culture
why exert one’s mind?
Attention scattered feathery
enfeebling human memory
‘Smartphonies’ slavishly lock eyes
with Siren Screens seductive
enticing, devious device:
Crisp, collusive, corruptive
Mindless grazing, gazing
in screen’s greenish sheen
inviting, debasing
shackled to routine
Swamped, we get ever lazier
makes us a dull-edged rapier
