HUMAN PHONES

Time has put something new

On the tongue of my muse

Funny, how what attract is what is

They have mouthpieces

A few numbers dialled and most are connected

They have ears

Just close to the ears or press to impress

And every connector hears

Human phones!

II

They are breakers

Couples turn singles with their presence

Fingers busy fingering them instead of loving

Eyes busy watching instead of being mesmerised

Workers turn jobless on their account

Drivers lose their balance on their account

Human phones!

III

They have applications

Many of which you won’t mess with

Be a pest on Whatsup and they send fangs to your chase

Be one who angers and you see beastly icons

Be inactive and face the archive prison

One can get nasty but many are hasty

Be a monster and you are blocked like a stranger

Never to see, hear or send anything

IV

You will be lucky to be blocked on Whatsup

Facebook will send you straight to hell

After a couple of reports

Reports which are verified without your knowledge

Be a little slow and your timeline is flooded

By paintings gory

Rebranding you into what mischief thinks

V

There are games to be played

Many; cool, others dangerous

Messages are sacred for most, passwords in complexities

Messages make no sense for some, doors to them left ajar

Press the wrong button and get blocked

There is Instagram

Snap and it goes without a care at all

You can google, you can learn

The correct, wrong and terrifying

And when they crash, you might pick debt or nothing

Which is more debt

Without them, you feel mentally unstable

With them, you feel anxious for something always

Human phones

Good, bad and ugly and beautiful

But what is life without a blend?

Loving killers

They will forever be
