I desire to be a smartphone
I am unfortunate to not have
kith and kin or any beloved parents
who are ever obsessed
with smartphones,
not sparing a few hours for me.
Ever hectic they pay deaf ears to my cries
when I shout they chide me with furious faces,
scared of their countenance
I keep my misery.
Can I call it a parental love?
No, no
it is only evasion of responsibility to neglect children
to neglect their siblings in the name of smartphones.

Flashed a thought in my mind, if I were to ever become a cellphone
I should ever be in the hands of Mum and Dad and taste what real love is.

At least hug me once in a day
I will remain in bliss for the rest,
counting down the hours till your next dose of love
Ma and Pa I leave one small suggestion
I may only be a child,
but we do possess feelings of our own
so I will leave it on your consciousness
will you ever love me,
like I do?
life may be a challenge but be ready to face it,

Yet I can't seem to hate you
as you are the only one who provides me solace
when no-one else can
tell me, will you always be with me?
Like you are with everyone else,

You are the greatest treasure for many,
but will you accept to be mine?
