Life in My Palm

The world is in my palm!
"Global news?" Yes.
"Weather updates?" Yes.
"Friends and family?" Oh, yes.
"Games?" Of course.
"Camera?" Aye.
"What's left?"
Plants and animals perhaps.
"Hmm... no living things then?"
Nay, nothing alive,
Also nothing that I can touch or feel....
"How do you then say the world is in your palm?
Those people on your phone are just pictures,
Those voices you hear are distant,
You cannot see them,
And you ignore them when they're in front of you."
But...
"Hush... Let me finish...
You know why?
Because you're too busy,
Living life in your own little palm."
