Phone

In response to Scott’s Daily Prompt, Call me maybe

A phone
Is a clock
A calculator 
A camera
A notebook
A console
A radio
A TV
A movie screen
A book
An encyclopedia 
A chain
A cage

Territory shrinks
As the walls rise again
And the drawbridge is raised
The world is smaller

The worst of times
From long ago
Are opium
Entertainment
Sleight of mind

Meanwhile
Terry the Tory
Sniggers behind
Fake pride
And cheap beer

Protest
Is the latest sport
Avarice
The virtue of power

Today’s prompt is.

Call me, maybe
