The Thief of Eyes

The thief of the eyes,
The device silently demolishing.

Where are those chirps from?
Look it up.
Why is the sky blue?
Look it up.
Though questions are looked up,
We don't look up.

“Ignore the whispers of the trees!
Ignore the music of the birds!
Ignore the beauty of the flowers!”
The technology screams for attention.

All of the uniqueness.
All of the creativity.
All of the social skills.
All of the communication.
All of it is fading slowly.

Unable to replace the face-to-face.
When it rains
the phone is checked.
When the power goes out
The phone is checked.
Is the power back soon?
Check the phone.

Technology is the thief of the eyes.
The device silently demolishing.
