Us and Our Phones

By Brianna Pasnik

Our phones divide us
There’s more to discuss
Texting to get a point across
Eye contact is now at a loss

Face to face conversations
Feel like a long lost station
Snapchat, TikTok and Facebook
That is now where we all look

Our phones are strongly addictive
They make everything more complex
It’s scary that it has come to this
Losing our phones, we would miss

We use our phones for everything
Entertainment and music apps
Communication and navigation
Even when we are on vacation
If we could take a step back
and see what we all lack
Maybe we would learn more
and open up a new door
