Just a phone

It’s a phone
A small hand held object used to call people from a distance
Useful in emergency situations and hearing a voice when you’re alone
Now it’s a life line
Now it’s life and death if you lose it
Because it’s no longer just a phone
It’s a camera
A tablet
A Gameboy
An art studio
A shopping mall
A movie theatre
A personal computer
A gateway into a world where the only people that exist are the ones using it
And the only issues are when the next boy band is appearing
Who isn’t using the latest trend
And whether this person likes you
Because it’s not just a phone anymore
It deserves a bejeweled case of the finest and richest colours
It deserves more attention than the family pet
And if anybody even looks at it they should be beheaded
Because it no longer is a phone
It’s a lifestyle
A poison
Toxic
