the electronic leash


We crave it most
It is our host,
We keep it near
If lost, we fear. 
 
What to do 
When all they do is control you 
Look up from it please 
Life would be such a breeze.
 
What you do on it is meaningless 
Join a team, be mischievous.
Enjoy your youth
And don't act uncouth 
 
You act like you don't know 
But ever does it show 
That all you see is on a tiny little screen 
All of your parents have foreseen 
 
The life you see is not real
All you do is pretend to feel 
The lack of human interaction 
Has turned us to abstraction 
 
put it down and act insane 
The society you live in is to blame 
There you go! You're doing just fine
Can you realize how it was just a waste of time?
