Mesmerism ... Tones

Today's word is "mesmerism" ... MEZ- much-Ruiz-uh m ... a compelling attraction; fascination; hypnosis as induced, according to F. A. Mesmer, through animal magnetism. hypnotism. (Dictionary.com)

Tones
Sitting in a circle,
For some family fun,
Screens are mesmerizing,
Almost everyone.

When did all this happen,
This lack of social grace?
Talking between texts,
Instead of face-to-face.

What will the result be,
In a dozen years,
Will we know each other?
Our inmost dreams and fears?
