It’s Like My Phone Is Attached to My Body

I had just started explaining smart phones to an alien
When the alien stopped me in mid-sentence
And explained smart phones to me
 
Originally, in order to monitor and control us
They were just going to attach
Electronic ankle bracelets to each of us
 
But after millennia of exhaustive research
They concluded we were much easier to control
When given the illusion of choice
 
Of course
These aliens aren’t from outer space–
Alienated from God
We are strangers to ourselves
Playing God
Because we don’t know Him
