📞 “Hold the Line” A Call to Save Our Landlines

In a red phone box, a life belt lies,
A symbol of hope beneath stormy skies.
For when the waves of chaos roar,
The landline stands a steady shore.

No need for towers, apps, or streams
Just solid lines and lasting dreams.
The landline sings a trusted song,
Through storm and night, it holds on strong.
When power’s out and signals stall,
It stays our anchor through it all.

The copper line is calm and clear,
A lifeline built to persevere.
No hacks, no drops, no power need
Just honest voice, not shaped by greed.
In blackout hours or system strain,
It still connects in sun or rain.
This trusted thread must not be gone
A nation’s shield, its backbone strong.

Now comes the noise of corporate might,
To dim this line, to snuff the light.
They sell us clouds and radiation’s flare,
While grounded wires fall to disrepair.

But wireless waves drift through the air,
5G masts rise, with risks to bear.
Radiation pulses, fast, unseen
While copper holds secure, serene.

What of the elder, frail and blind,
Whose only voice is copper-lined?
What of the world, both far and wide
Where careless waves now override?
With radiation’s reach so spread,
There’s nowhere safe to rest one’s head.

And what of those the waves betray
Who feel the pulse of RF’s play?
For them, no mobile’s friendly glow,
But pain and illness the world won’t know
A hidden wound, a silent woe.

This isn’t just nostalgia’s plea,
It’s safety, truth, and dignity.
A right to call, to still be known,
Without a screen, or charging phone.

RF may race, but leaves a mark
On bodies, bees, and nights grown dark.
While copper rests with gentle grace,
And harms no soul, nor leaves a trace.

So let us rise and make it clear:
This lifeline’s end we will not cheer.
For jobs, for health, for each lost friend
We call on powers now to defend.

Raise your voice for landlines must remain a choice.
No hidden fees, no harmful waves
Just honest speech in human ways.

The cord still holds. The tone still rings.
Let copper be the voice that brings
A future built on solid ground
Where truth and care can still be found.

So write, speak out, let leaders know
We won’t let vital lifelines go.
Urge MPs to take a stand,
To keep this service safe and planned.
And learn the truths the ads disguise
www.radiationresearch.org where action lives and voices rise.
