Cell Phones

Many people deprived of a phone
Couldn’t function when they were alone
            For in this day and age
            It’s the norm to engage
With the screen of the cell that they own.

Human contact has suffered a blow
For technology’s now status quo.
            We might not recognize
            Someone just by his eyes
‘Less they’re lit by a battery’s glow.

Makes me wonder if old Alex Bell,
If brought back to earth just for a spell
            Would be more than just shocked
            But would have his world rocked
Watching everyone glued to a cell!
