Tied Up

His hands and her hands are tied up by the fast moving motion graphics of a gaming console

He may be 3

He may be 13

He may be 23

He may be 33

Technology created to be a helping hand inthis once hard laboured world turned into the master thumbing our controls.

Kids who were once being fed pointed at the moon are now being fed pointed at colourful images of a digital screen.

Kids who once played out with a bat and ball are now playing with a mobile device with blasting noise.

I too among these kids am tied up to the addiction of technology, but missing thosee times I played running around with my fellas at the playground

Doors closing up, roads closing up, mouths closing up and eyes closing up

Our hands closing up and our smiles closing up

You and I closing up but no one realising how we are all closing up
