The very first day
After high hopes of success
In changing our ways.
They lined up for miles
Everywhere phones are sold,
Some there all night braving
Rain, snow and cold.
“Bringing the world
To the palm of your hand!”
Embedded directly with
Latex so grand,
Waterproof, flexible,
It goes where you do
To get more things done,
It’s so brand new!
Motionless, soundless
Impulses to brain
Just keep right on sending
Notifications like rain.
So what was the problem
That shut this phone down,
When millions were shelled
Out from all over town?
It seems as the hand phone
Booted up all online,
It filled up the brain with
Knowledge in kind
Of everything known, either
past or real time
And brain cells were maxed,
And then turned to slime.
So back to the drawing board-
Maybe some hack
That keeps the internet from
Causing brain-whack.
But in the meantime,
While they are all wishing
For more information,
I’m goin’ fishing
Where no information
Can reach my rest time,
Just nature and water
And casting my line,
Where nothing is known-
No fluffy news feed,
Who knows, I might find
That I don’t really need
To know everything, or
What everyone does,
Or what they are thinking
Or what’s the news buzz.
Just me and my thoughts
And my heartfelt prayers
That this world will slow down
And let down its hair.
