If you were using your device to learn
I would not hate it with such fierce resolve;
If knowledge were not something one must earn
This sin would be easier to absolve
But thy eternal boredom shall not fade
Nor yield to books the scrutiny thou ow'st
Nor shall the monstrous tuition paid
Move thee to make knowledge the fruit thou grow'st
Shall I compare thee to students of yore?
Their phones, to them, were not as thine to thee
They liked devices, whereas you adore
Yours with such passion, 'tis filthy to see
If looming apocalypse is boring
What chance has school to keep you from snoring?
