The zombie horde is here.
You see them wandering through town
eyes cast down
faces gleaming in reflected glow.
They don’t notice anything
beyond the little screen
that disengages in the lie
of social connection,
introspection?
Zombies don’t know how
to greet a stranger with a smile
to meet a new friend’s eyes.
Their thumbs down
they’re dumbed down.
Mindless, spineless,
hypnotized, mesmerized,
To numb to despise the device
that drugs them ’til they hum,
with zombie poison.

We might all be zombies on our phones but at least we can read each other’s posts! Great image here, love this poem
Thank you!
So far, I don’t do internet life on my phone. I’m still grounded by a giant computer screen! 🙂
Really a sad sad reality of “zombies”, they seem to be everywhere. I wonder where humanity is headed towards.
Nice poem by the way 🙂
I fear they are rewiring our kids. They don’t know how to function face to face.
BOOM!
😉
I “like” this.
Thanks, Howard.
Sometimes I fear there is some kind of conspiracy behind the addiction to cellphone addiction among our children. Get them all looking down, disconnected from the real world and then they can be easily manipulated – with blinders on to what is happening in the real world. Not to mention disconnected from nature, the environment, and their own essence.
I share your sentiment.
Great description of the phone zombie generation, so sad though..
Thanks for stopping by.
Gotta love zombies…great poem
