a child in his pram watching movies on the phone

young people at a bus stop, silent, but not alone

parents at the park sending messages by text

singles seeking singles, wondering who’ll be next

families out for picnics sharing happy facebook pics

couples on a date, taking loving selfie tricks

runners with their ear plugs pounding out a rhythm

people walking dogs taking iphones with ’em

children with their playstation chat to friends online

people watching netflix with their families while they dine

electronic answers when we try to make a call

politicians sending taped, personal messages for all

Communication’s changing, and I have to wonder

have we humans made a communication blunder

if we communicate by devices and no longer face to face

are we becoming a disjointed and fractured, human race?
