I am a phoneless boy!


Amidst smart phone doting populace
I am a phoneless boy! Just no calls, songs,
Videos to engage!I did have phones going around
With them talking at will while on the move
When at rest at home or elsewhere

All that  changed when the crowds
Around  began to take needless interest in me
As if I am the one who really matters amidst
All breaking news, demonetisation, leaders
Passing away, other important happenings

The crowds pursue wherever I go, taking interest
In whatever I do, they got fond of my phones
Stealing one phone after the other in succession
That I find it hard to replace each and every time, Yea,
I am a phoneless boy with no means to call dear ones

For the net my mode is laptop and USB modem
I seek unknown persons to make calls or leave urgent
Messages, posts in facebook to let my position known
Go on travel with no links in between except few calls
when in absolute need, through other’s phones

I may be phoneless and out of reach
Yet I am not boneless, fleshless,
Blood less and emotion less while
Going without phone, clear these crowds
Away, I will be a phone owning boy again!
