Are you under a spell?

 


Press play.


Are you a follower of Nomophobia?


(A lone voice whispers)


From N to A


From the mythical 1984 to the dystopia of a Brave New World at play 


Has social propaganda and media platforms created a spectre for the collective consciousness


To sail blindly within

Starting at the world-famous shores of Nokia 


And quietly leading us to Nomophobia or more simply put


Phone Separation Anxiety 


Officially, although not a pathology


But aren't we all just followers of its tribes controlled by flock owners


Social controllers and maybe hidden idolaters


For can you really believe 


You can leave your phone at home for a day


Before your consciousness starts to grieve
