Matty JablonskyFacebook Facebook,
Here we go again…
“Like if you agree!”
“Share and tag your friends!”It’s all the same stuff,
just on a different day.
“I never make posts like this…”
“So I just wanna say…”No one really cares,
this isn’t even real.
“Click the link below!”
“What a great deal!”Scrolling and scrolling,
the hours fly by.
“Someone liked your post!”
“Someone went live!”But we’re all missing out,
on a little thing called “life”.
A husband stares at his phone,
and ignores his lonely wife.No one raises their kids,
it’s easier it seems…
Children don’t make noise,
when they stare at the screen.I worry what it’s doing,
to our world and our minds.
It’s become a way of life,
or a sign of the times.I feel like a prisoner,
and I know I’m not alone.
We’re all prisoners now,
that’s why it’s called a “cell” phone.
I LOVE this. And it really made me think of my finace yelling at me to get off my phone. It really is hurting our relationships and so much more. This is such a creative way to make a poignant point. I will be including this piece in our newsletter today (Friday). Check it out :). Thanks for sharing your talent with us. You are amazing. <3 Lauren

The truest of words. Technology has its perks but the social decline because of cell phones alone is scary. I absolutely agree!

Woah. This is eye-opening. Society today is so glued to screens and I completely agree, it is affecting our quality of life! Being someone who is on a screen a lot and is trying to cut back, it can be so difficult to refrain from the use of them. Our brains are wired to want it, like a drug. It is scary and I hope we can find a way to stop this.
