Smartphones Poem by Mohammad Younus

The most important gadget we've with us,
As far as our children are concerned,
Is ever, EVER, EVER with killing hazards;
Let them not play with smartphones -
Particularly when they are all alone;
Or, better still, just don't install...
The idiotic applications at all;
Or, use a child lock to stop them...
From viewing perilous things;
In almost every house we've seen,
Children moving their fingers...
At the phone screen, and watching...
Nasty dehumanising games and reels;
They stare until their eyes lose their shine;
They sit for hours like flies on shit and faeces;
And stare and stare until they're hypnotised by it,
Until they're fully fed with all that is forbidden junk;
Oh yes, we know mothers do it to keep them still...
While they are themselves idling away their time...
On watching dramas, moovies, and music on the phone;
Even fathers do the same after their business hours;
They never stop to think that they are slowpoisoning...
Their innocent children, as they let them die a virtual death;
IT KILLS THEIR BRAINS JUST AS CANCERS AND TUMORS DO!
IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD!
IT KILLS INNOVATIVE THINKING DEAD!
IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLIND!
IT CAUSES SLEEP DEPRIVATION, PSYCHIATRIC DISEASES...
HOT-BUTTON ISSUES, AND EVEN CANCERS AND TUMORS!
A CHILD ADDICTED TO ANDROID PHONES CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTAND...
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FACT AND A FANTASY;
HE LIVES IN A FAIRYLAND! FAR FROM WORLD OF REALITY!
HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS A RUSTED MACHINE!
HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND JAME!
You might ask what shall we do to entertain our children...
When after school hours they want to sit and relax;
Let them do all noble entertainment that they would...
Do before this monster gadget was invented;
Have you forgotten? Don't you know?
