Digital Dystopia
by Dawg
In silicon’s embrace, our dreams collide,
through circuits’ spark and screens that flicker bright,
we dive through spaces where shadows rarely bide,
new versions emerge where phantoms dance in light.
Virtual truths, so vivid in their might,
reveal new paths in data’s endless stream.
The future’s cloaked in bytes and vivid dream.
Yet as we plug our souls to cyberspace,
we risk forgetting what the flesh can feel.
Virtual love in avatars’ embrace,
yet still, the touch of skin is raw and real.
These digital constructs, though grand, they only steal
the primal essence that our hearts hold dear.
In code, we lose what makes our beings clear.
We stroll through servers, forging new designs,
where pixels paint a false but fierce delight.
Our minds entwine with strange electric lines,
yet miss the warmth of sun and stars at night.
The tech provides a glossy, grand facade,
but leaves us yearning for the soil and sky.
In cyber’s grasp, we reach, but never fly.
While we journey through this wired sprawl,
grip the screens, but never lose your touch.
For in the bytes and bits, a price we pay,
and fleeting joy may not be worth so much.
When virtual systems captivate and call,
remember that the ground outside is real.
In every touch, let truth and love hold sway.
For though the cyberspace may glitter bright,
its pull is fleeting, often stark and cold.
Yet in our flesh, we find the purest light,
where human hearts and real emotions unfold.
Let the tech amplify, but not control,
and cherish moments where our senses merge.
In every byte and beat, let truth emerge.
