Sometimes they take up our lives
We still use them though
Always trying to impress all]]> 2018-10-17 12:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802420 Poem https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802431 Technology linking us to our friends, enemies, and strangers,

Keeping us forever connected,

Enslaving us to the opinions of the hypocrites and the uninformed,

Making us abundantly more paranoid and angry, with no easy way out.]]> 2018-10-17 12:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802431 Ekphrastic Poetry https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802570 Scrolling through pictures,
Posting all smiles,
The likes pouring in,
placing me farther in denial.]]> 2018-10-17 12:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802570 Phone https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802601 Phones Phones Phones
We are moths to their light
Sewn the world together,
But the glimpse they provide can be phony.

Never ceasing, always there 
Bound together for eternity 
Chained by cursed light.

So tied, full of responsibilities 
So tethered, full of addiction 
So chained, full of incivility

Always in our hands, always on our minds
No freedom from them, no escape
From the fake world we’ve created in this tiny device

It is the devil 
They're brainwashing us 
And soon, we will be out of touch ]]> 2018-10-17 12:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802737 Ekphrastic Poetry https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802756 Phones control most everything
You can talk with just one ring
But when it comes to companionship,
A phone is not the best for friendship

Chained together
Technology has won

Add another link to the chain
And we would not dare
To admit we are tied to this pattern]]> 2018-10-17 12:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293802933 Ekphrastic Poetry https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293808131 A society so chained to our phones
That we forget how to live 
Without it we die 
With it were tied

Day in and day out

Social media runs our lives 

What is the end as we strive for clout

small stark controlling monoliths,
enthralling us all hours of day,
there is no solace e'en in sleep]]> 2018-10-17 12:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293812999 https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293813613 Held hostage, without escape.
We have no control, as reality slips away 
The shackles feel light, so we think we have freedom
But at the end of the day we are consumed]]> 2018-10-17 13:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293813613 michelle_dover https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293814778 Vibrantly buzzing a harbinger
ringing a failing new age of my head
Wracked with pain and agog in the wit
Never again will my silence seem sweet.]]> 2018-10-17 13:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293814778 https://padlet.com/mmcoffey/6txtwyeffo1m/wish/293815866 A second shadow following closely

Draining passion, leeching indivuality,

Fueling crowd mentality.

A perfect personality prison.

Always shackled to our phones
Taking up our lives
Yet we still use them
