Today's generation

Today's generation

Oh no, 
my battery is low.
I should of charged my phone,
but I was bored to the bone.
Now I'm regretting this,
and this device I will miss.
I'll have to go out doors,
but I want to play on my phone more.
This generation I live in is full of rotten minds,
to reality, my peers have become blind.
They stick to their tech like glue,
and I admit it, I do too.
It's just how it is today,
on a screen is where we stay.
I don't want it to be,
but a device is all we see.
We forget about global warming,
and we're ignoring the warnings.
We neglect nature,
we don't act very mature.
We have grown dumb,
we have grown numb.
Not to mention,
this is an obsession.
In the future they'll regret,
or they'll still be on their screens I bet.

Very entertaining to read!!  I'm glad I belong to the other generation lol ? But having a mobile is not a sin,  is it?  Lol ? what bothers me most is when a friend invites you for dinner but she's not talking to you for she's glued to her mobile.  
I turn off my Mobile when in company of friends!!! 
Thanks for sharing!! 

​​​​​​congrats for the nomination

Thank you so much! I honestly didn't think any of my poetry would get nominated. I wrote this when my phone was at 20% so I had a little inspiration there... lol.

Superb write that sums up exactly how I feel about the negative affect on our generation. It's a silent killer of the mind and the art of social interaction. We need to act now.
