We are told the art is dead
Why speak, just text
Worried that the trend will spread
What in God’s name is next?
Talking is expressive
One to one is fun
OK at times excessive
but words never make you run
Now we have WhatsApp, Messenger, e-mail
All stuck in a cloud
And at times they make you pale
and often shared to a crowd
I want to talk to you, just you
Looking eye to eye
Wanting our words to be true
Conversation must never die.
