Addicted to Cell Phones

Our society is obsessed with the cell phone
That ever present handy little device
If we could just leave it behind
Sometimes that would be nice

I've observed people literally 
Walk into a door
While looking down at their cell phone
As if gazing at the floor

A call a text or Instagram 
Excuse me I have to check my mail
O my God!!!my batteries low!!
Please my phone do not fail

I know we're here for dinner
But I must text a friend
LOL and OMG
Now it's time to send

Cell phones have their place
I guess in today's society 
But there would not be one in existence 
If it were up to me

No one can communicate
As in talking face to face
This type of interaction 
Has by the cell phone been replaced

I guess that's just the way it is today
O how I long for the days of old
When you had to find a pay phone
In the heat or rain or cold

Drop a quarter in the slot
Or maybe just a dime
Better say what you want
Your running out of time

I'm just a little old fashioned I guess
I like the way it used to be
When two would sit and talk
Without interruption from technology
