Life in the day of ...
I smile from the cellphone camera
I cry on YouTube videos
I celebrate from Facebook live
I converse from Skype, Zoom and Snapchat babe
I like to be liked
I hate to be missed in a newsfeed
I poke at you for fun
I block you if you dare to poke back
Hundreds of friend requests are my stance
Stalking profiles is my time pass
My life revolves around six emotions
Fool you are, if Shadripu is on your mind
I want people to ping me but not disturb me
When friends want to call, I ask them to text
When family want to meet, I spent the whole two long minutes on a call
Virtual world and I are meant for each other
Horoscope confirmed this match even better
Years later, I realized
Glass screen had a better protector than my life
Unfriend and unfollow alerts have higher reflex than me
I swiped my life left instead of right
Home button never sent anyone home
Something slipped through my fingers
I heard big cracking sound on the floor
Not about the cell phone, my life it is
The thought of no warranty flashed on me
The shock was no less than dying battery with last drop of the red line
It was too late to replace or repair
The mind was debating between recycling bin and trash can
To make those last moments worthy
Ouch, version upgrade popped up unexpectedly
As usual, blacked out everything without my permit
I was labeled as a legacy system and retired
Twitter celebrated hashtagging my death
My life purpose is now served! 😊
