Nomophobia (short for no-mobile-phone phobia)

ZIGGY

Message sent the art of conversation bent
information overload on a web of deceit
an app for every user download complete

Swipe like and tag hide profile delete
you walk around with your head in your
phone well connected but still all alone
put away your hand held device live your life

Forget about free Wi-Fi and start a conversation
with those you know on the street take a break
from that submerged fake reality store memories
in your head not somewhere on the web called cloud

Be proud don't be muted by a silent response
look up from your phone and stop been alone
connect instead with the world where you exist
like tag and share with those who truly care

Live in the now don't wait for acceptance by
way of like share or reply do it now don't deny
disconnect to reinvent your time and vigour
so switch of the media auto correct and Wikipedia

Take your head out of that virtual reality
look away from the screen don't tag your life map
of where you have been phone a friend arrange a
meeting have a real conversation today won't
ever be repeating
