Wisepicks For 8 December

Rinku Shah

 

If only you could see,
You are no longer free.
Immobilised by
your mobile…
Is this addiction worthwhile?

 

Sheila Coterall

 

The spotlight’s on you
when you’re
on your phone,
Wherever you go,
you’re never alone.
You walk past
thousands on the street,
Yet face to face,
you rarely greet.
Imprisoned by the media,
held in a fancy cell,
No release date imminent
As far as I can tell!….

 

Anand Singh Josh

 

Something has captivated
ย a fraction of you ,
Don’t let it obstruct
ย the path of light
and spoil you…

 

Vyvienne Chamberlain

 

It seems like a crime
wasting your time
basking in screen light
for most of the night.
Turn it off for a while
and turn on your smile
for those who love you
whatever you do.

 

Rocco DiMascio

 

As he stood there
ย within the cold light
ย of his phone,
he felt reassured
ย that he wasn’t alone,
ย until one day
ย he realized,
ย he couldn’t put down,
ย what prevented his eyes
from looking around.

 

Mary Kirkpatrick

 

When captured
by social media
You’ve traded in academia
For research via Wikipedia
Life without a phone
ย is like amnesia.
Before it’s too late,
press escape.

 

Arlene Larocque Jones

 

A shady existence
Full of belligerence
Could lead you
down a relentless road
You will become immobile
All because of your mobile

 

Sarrveshwaran

 

Prisoners of this
ย tiny tech in hand,
Seems like we don’t
ย stand a chance.
Doesn’t matter
if we are poor or grand,
We are so glued
ย that we don’t
take off our glance…

 

Ashok Pande

 

We all are,
Prisoners of,
Our own device.
Ignore the darkness of,
Ignorance and,
Let the light of,
Knowledge,
Shine on you.

 

Rinku Shah

 

The click of a button
decides whether you
are a prisoner or free…
Choose what you
ย want to be.
Utilise your time well,
Donโ€™t be a hostage
to your cell!

 

Sabiha Nikhat

 

In the persuit
ย of a Digital world,
He got trapped
ย into the modern cage.

 

Helen Quinlivan

 

Imprisoned between
the weaved web
of the net and the
outside world, but you
have the choice
ย to just step away
from the trap
of the addiction
ย and lead a
ย life of freedom.

 

Shilpika Bagh

 

Smartphones were in
ย to connect you
to your kin;
to be its slave
isย  a choice within.

 

Sulekha Pande

 

Looking for life
ย in a gadget,
man is slowly
ย turning into a midget,
captivated and imprisoned
ย by technology,
this is the stark
and real face
of ethnology…

 

M Jeyaram

 

A ‘hello’ may bring
a halo on you
or a hell for you.
However strong
you may stand
your ground
Gadgets and widgets
will make you
a sticky wicket.

 

Arlene Larocque Jones

 

Prisoner of
my own devices

 

Felicia Holmes

 

The longer it holds your interest,
the stronger itโ€™s hold over you.

 

Sulekha Pande
The light that emits
from the smartphone,
does not enlighten,
it imprisons forever
