CELL PHONE ADDICTION



There’s an addiction sweeping the land,

That no one is talking about.

It’s reached epidemic proportions,

And the addicts can’t do without.



When I say that addiction is cell phones,

People roll their eyes and shrug.

Yet cell phones are just as addictive,

As any kind of drug.



People can’t put them down,

A digital attachment to their hand.

Addicts shop for dealers,

Who can keep up with their demand.



With glazed eyes on a screen,

They can’t see where they’re going.

Accidents are commonplace,

And their numbers are growing.



Cell phone use in cars,

Has led to many wrecks.

Friends don’t let friends,

Drive a car and text.



It’s easy to get hooked.

The need they feel is real.

With the world in their hands,

they’re lured by its appeal.



Cell phones are addictive,

There are junkies all around.

So people, just say no,

And put those cell phones down.
