Phone Frenzy

The Cost of Constant Connectivity

In the palm of our hands, a world of distraction

A never-ending scroll, an endless attraction

We're slaves to the screens, we can't look away

Our time and attention, they steal every day

We used to talk to each other, face to face

But now we're too busy, in our digital space

We're missing out on life, while we're plugged in

We've lost the art of conversation, it's a sin

We're addicted to the likes, the shares, the views

We've forgotten what it's like, to just be in the news

We're always on the phone, we're never alone

But it's not real connection, it's just a loan

We're sacrificing our time, for instant gratification

We're missing out on beauty, in this digital nation

We need to take a step back, and see the cost

Of constant connectivity, at what it's lost

We need to unplug, and reconnect

With the world around us, and with ourselves

It's time to put the phone down, and live our lives

Before it's too late, and all we have is goodbyes.
