#phone
There was a time when words had to be handpicked,
To express all your emotions,
From hand to hand, the letter would pass,
In dramatic slow motion!
The postman was an angel,
Whose door bell brought anxiety!
Bringing smiles and sometimes tears,
He played the mediator for society!
Then came the era of witty one liners,
Which demanded brilliant vocabulary,
This was the decade of pagers with messages,
"I have reached safe. Don't worry!"
Technology got better,
With the invention of telephone
Expressions could now be deciphered,
By simply listening to the tone!
All this while, we still spent efforts,
In communicating and conveying,
Running through our thoughts,
To assemble what are saying!
Today we have been hunched,
Smart phones dictate our thoughts,
Hope there never comes a day when gen next asks,
Bots created us or we created Bots!
