Behind our phones

I hid behind the phone today
Boiled up in anger, spat in rage
Spoke words I couldn't speak in person
Taught that S.O.A.B. a sounding lesson
Did more than blows and slaps deliver
Fired shameful arrows out of my quiver
I hid behind my phone

I hid behind my phone today
Pretended it was fine to have fun and play
Covered the tears that were falling on my screen
Texted jokes and posted bountiful smilies
No one could see the pain churning inside
No one noticed why or even that I had to cry
I hid behind my phone

I hid behind my phone today
Told all the lies so I could get laid
Spoke sweet words of love and heartfelt honour
She couldn't even tell all I wanted was one shocker
Promised her heaven on earth all our days
Meehhnn she was now in my hands, I could have my own way
I hid behind my phone

I hid behind my phone today
Told the world I was in Paris on a french holiday
Shared pictures of my ticket bound to Cape Town next week
Told them I bought this gorgeous set of pearls and dresses sheek
Whilst I sat locked up in my room at Adenta SSNIT flats
I portrayed the life of the Kardashians like I'd been there, done that
I hid behind my phone

I hid behind my phone today
Praying for someone for God to make a way
Preaching and teaching the Word on Facebook
Rebuking the lost who disgraced the Brotherhood
Flipping between that and sakawa sites
Making myself rich not calling it Stealing but Shop Right
I hid behind my phone

You may hide behind your phone today
Or tomorrow, next week, or any other day
Like me you may want something you naturally don't get
Cover up reality just to siphon out the 'best'
But how long can it last till we meet with reality
What do we really gain before God and humanity
If we hide behind our phones??
