Phone Is My Life

By Shukkur Khan @ Ro Maung Nyan Tun

The one I can learn education through
 is my phone.  
The one which tells me the time is my
 phone.  
The one which assists me to see in darkness 
is my phone.  
The one which reminds me my forgotten 
words is my phone.  
The one which helps me to learn new
 thing is my phone.  

It helps me to remove my sadness with
 pleasant songs.  
It helps me to make myself happy  
It helps me to motivate myself 
It helps me to note things in my life  
It helps me to understand what is going 
on in the world  

My phone is my dude.  
It is my life.  
It is my opportunity.  
It is my university.  
It is my notebook.  
It is my guiding star.  
It is everything for me.  

It wakes me up with alarm on time.  
It indicates me through map to seek
 my friends.  
It helps me to offer new things from
 global market.  
It helps me to communicate around
 the world.  
It helps me to see face to face with friends 
and relatives  who are far away  

Having no phone means having no life
 for me. 
Losing internet is losing source of 
survival for me.  
No communication, no information
We are in darkness, technical darkness.
