We need to TALK

Hey you!

Put down that mobile device

We need to talk!!!

No I am not breaking up with you

Though I am not sure

If I was ever seeing you

The digital world has made you inept

And left you all confused 

So now you could do 

With a human connect

It’s time you move away 

From the digital world

And have a conversation 

Using just spoken words

Before you forget 

How words are spoken

How words sound

It’s time you have a conversation 

Before everyone’s gone

The words you write

Are open to interpretation 

They may have emotions 

But depend on 

Someone else’s interpretation 

Which may not always

What you meant them to be

Not always what you 

Intended them to be

When you write

You open yourself to misinterpretation 

So high time you have 

A face-to-face conversation 

And don’t let your thought

The words you intend to communicate 

Be open to an unambiguous communication 

So speak up and say

The words you need to say

You’re so wrapped in your digital world

Slowly becoming 

The only place where you exist 

The only place where people

Seem to find you

You seem to have lost all contact

With the human world

And only exist in a digital one

Living in a virtual world

Your family and friends

Keep tabs on you

Basis of what you post

Making you exist only there

It’s time you put down 

That digital device

And pick up the phone and speak

Cause it would mean so much to them

Just to hear you speak 

Cause spoken words 

Carry so much weight

More than any words

You may try to write

Before it’s too late

And they’re all gone

So it’s time you learn to speak

And let the words you say

Convey what you mean

Let your emotion be seen

Rather than be interpreted incorrectly 

It’s time you meet face-to-face

And have a conversation 

It’s time to talk

Cause spoken words 

Can mean so much more

More than anything we write 

Could ever do
