Are You Talking To Me?

Updated: Oct 6, 2024

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tick Tock,

People on Their Mobile Phones Just Not Wanting to Stop.

Sending Messages Without a Care,

Even to You when Your Stood Right There.

Messenger, WhatsApp and Snapchat,

They Even Sit on The Toilet Seat Texting Lots of Crap.

In Cars on Buses, Trains and Planes,

People on Their Mobile Phones it’s Driving Me Insane.

Heads in Their Screens as They Walk Quietly,

Tap Tap Tapping so Frantically.

Predictive Text on so Mistakes can’t be Made,

They Wait for a Reply and Wait for a Reply,

Then a Message comes through and now They Begin to Trade.

This Trophy that They Carry Always on Display,

Not Looking What’s Around Them,

Every Minute, Every Second, Every Single Day.

“It’s Part of Our Lives,” Some People Say,

“It’s Our Way to Communicate to Get Us Through The Day.”

“It’s Part of Our Lives We Have No Choice,”

Have You Ever Thought About Using Your Voice.

In Restaurants and Pubs Ordering Food,

People Discussing what is on The Menu.

Starters, Main Course, Desserts All Done,

The Art of Conversation has All now Gone.

Mobile Phone in One Hand and a Drink in The Other,

Let’s See what is Happening in The Internet World,

And Just Forget About Each Other.

Don’t Get Me Wrong Mobile Phones Can Be Good,

If You use them The Right Way.

Taking Pictures, Making Memories, having Video Chats,

To Your Family and Friends Who Live so Far Away.

But Try One thing, Are They Listening?

Ask them a Question when they’re on Their Phone.

And You Can Guarantee What The Answer Will Be,

"Sorry.... Are You Talking To Me?"
