pHoNe ZoMbIe

My big brother's a pHoNe ZoMbIe

Forever on his phone

Far from the crowd

Head in the Cloud

Demanding “Please leave me alone!”

My big brother's a pHoNe ZoMbIe

Won't answer to his name

He sits transfixed

His fingers twitch

While texting friends and playing games

My big brother's a pHoNe ZoMbIe

His mind's melted away

Eyes hypnotised

Glazed, mesmerised

For twenty-four hours every day

My big brother's a pHoNe ZoMbIe

He's off school yet again

So screen obsessed

Won't eat, won't rest

His phone's connected to his brain

I pleaded to my parents “Help!

“What are we gonna do?”

But they just stared

Into thin air...

Cos they are both pHoNe ZoMbIeS too!
