My family was ignoring me
consumed by powerful energies
My son just gaming mindlessly
when all the power went off
Please help me Dad, what can I do
the WIFI's down, my game is doomed
There must be something you can do
before I lose a life!
Perhaps a book? Was my reply
that's what they did in days gone by
He rolled his eyes up to the sky
You must be mad, I’ll die!
Please help me God! My wife joined in
The battery on my phone is drained
Perhaps an Apple? I exclaimed
She then began to cry
Just look at us! What have we done?
Electric slaves, we have become
Forget your games and instaglum
It’s time to get a life
As time passed by, we searched inside
for other ways to power our minds
We talked and joked
We laughed and cried
for lost times we had missed
But then a buzzing filled the air
Electric snakes with venom stirred
They bit through our together world
Our family lost again.
