A Phone

In my hand, a siren softly sings:

“Behold, dear soul, I can show all things;

A plea of urgency, a desperate decree,

Gaze upon my face, just focus on me!”

 

Indifferent it stays, to the nightingale’s song,

And the scale of right, or the weight of wrong.

Heedless it stays, on its digital throne,

Oblivious to the joy, and the sorrow it’s sown.

 

A treasure of knowledge, an abyss of deceit,

Both sanctuary and prison, its power is replete.

In its cold light, the world disappears,

And all that remains are shadows and fears,

Tethered and tied, to its sickly glow,

A life half-lived, a reality for show. 

 

Look up, dear soul, and regain your sight,

Embrace the day, escape the dark light.

The siren may sing, may plead and implore,

But life, in its richness, is so much more.
