My Latest Post!

Aly Mohammed Alsabbagh 1958 (Kafrelsheikh)



My Latest Post


My cellphone oh!‎
‎ My life, and soul.‎
My day and night, my dreams and goals! ‎

My phone,… so smart,…‎
A piece of art,‎
I keep it there, …right in my heart!‎

And when it rings,‎
I flap my wings
And fly with joy!‎

I always love to surf the Net….‎
Still my job …‎
Is not done, yet!‎


I need no sun, ‎
Why walk or run?‎
The Internet,… My games and fun!‎

Why watch the brooks,‎
Enjoy the meadows?‎
I watch the news of dudes and widows!‎

Why bother to climb
That mountain high?‎
A tap will carry me up to the sky!‎

Why talk with dad?‎
Or ask my Mom?‎
I chat with friends and latest trends!‎

I stay all day, ‎
Facebook and Twitter,‎
My source of pleasure! What could be better?‎


Who says I’m lonely?‎
The one and only! ‎
You know my names…My video games!‎

Why hold a book?‎
Or stare and look?‎
I have my phone,… My comfort zone!‎

Why waste my time, ‎
To study and find?‎
I have my phone, …why use my mind?‎

When we are home, ‎
We’re all at peace
Father, Mother,… Sister, Niece!‎

Glaring screen!‎
Eyes popping… out of head!‎
Whether in concert or in bed

All day long, online I am!‎
Who would care?‎
‎ Some would think, it could be scam!‎

What could be there?‎
By day, at night…I explore…‎
I need not knock the closed doors!‎

In chatting rooms, I am online!‎
My dad is busy,‎
The world dizzy! ‎

Lots of photos, lots of pictures!‎
I show off looks,…‎
And show my features!‎

I share my gallery!‎
My birthday Cake!‎
I assure you, it is not fake!‎

My Face account,‎
Has countless friends,‎
But most of them, I have never met


My vision is blurred,‎
So is my world! It is absurd;‎
You are seen and heard.‎

The dazzling lights
And their satellites …‎
I feel I’m lost…My latest post!‎

The dazzling lights
And their satellites …‎
I feel I’m lost…My latest post!‎

The dazzling lights
And their satellites …‎
I feel I’m lost…My latest post!‎
