Aliens are here!
You have seen their handiwork -
the mindless staring into screens
how they carry their lives
in their purses and pockets
and the only time they smile
is when they turn on their phones.
Walk into a waiting room
with 10-15 people waiting
and 10-15 will be lost in their second lives.
Their first lives have been altered
to where they are irretrievable.
Walk the streets and see them
transfixed, not watching
while lives are at stake
as they cross into traffic.
Watch as they drive
while they interact with their second passenger
the one they rely on for decision making.
Some share their bed with their phone.
Watch a gathering of friends
sitting near each other
conversing via text.
This is not human behavior.
It is coerced behavior.
It is the work of aliens!
Those fantastically fast creatures
that inhabit our skies
control our people
and turn us into “persona-robotica”...
soon to do their bidding.

So very true in this day and age MF, there does not seem to be anywhere you can go now without seeing people linked to their mobiles.

Thank you Andy. So true what you say. They are everywhere. They do not carry cash, just a phone. I I I swear they are aliens.- Phil A.
Yes MF - the brain has to be altered, I think ....Not too much parody really...
Thanks DD. Maybe more truth than I would have liked, but it paints its own picture. One can only wonder what the future will be like. Thanks again. - Phil A.
