Oh you five inch window,
Smart phone thy name;
Post your insidious arrival,
World will never be the same..
In the beginning you are an enigma,
Like a harmless placebo pill;
Until this realization dawns
That you are a disease that can kill…
Slowly creeping through my life and time,
You possess my very soul…
Harnessing my weak will,
And utter lack of self control;
When it comes to seeking attention
You are worse than a cranky child..
Turning people either into zombies,
Or turning on their instincts wild..
You beckon me oh so often,
To peep through your fallacious worldview;
In all my naveite, I don\’t perceive that
Your spells have long cast a curfew..
My leisure and family time
Have gone for a toss;
Doubts, if any left are quickly dispelled,
It\’s evident here, who is the boss..
It\’s not that I have not tried,
To overcome your persuasive streak;
But everytime I sense your absence,
You transform me into a mindless freak…
Your honourable company, in my life
Is a pretty costly bargain;
Fondling you greedily in my hands,
I treat my loved ones with complete disdain!!
I keep staring through your deceptive window,
Like a clueless robot
Searching, seeking, scrolling in vain
Often forgetting what I sought…
You hold a promise of liberation,
But you are just a mirage..
You give me wings to fly , and then
imprison me in your invisible cage..
Your screen has just brightness
But you have no wisdom of light at all..
It\’s all just a deceptive allusion
Until darkness and depression befall..
It takes great wisdom and will
To just shut you down!
Before you enslave me,
in form of addiction full-blown..
Oh, you five-inch treacherous window
Don\’t you dare….
To tempt me with your vision again,
For I know, you lead me nowhere….
