Mobile phones- An addiction?



The moment we open eyes in the morning
Mobiles hold  our attention till late evening

Glued are our eyes to the phone screen
Rest of the memories wiped clean

Responding innumerable texts on Wtsapp
In the priorities list, it is at the top

Important is - status updates on facebook
Other real life matters, surely we overlook

All to be said on all issues on Twitter
Expert views on things that hardly matter

For individual security many switch to viber
Apprehensive of the crimes on cyber

All that matters - the world that is virtual
Making their real lives miserable
