The Digital Divide
by Dawg
In a sprawl of screens and light, a child is lost in digital night,
eyes that stare at empty space, seeking comfort in the face.
Social media’s endless stream steals the time once spent in dream,
connections lost in cyber haze, family bonds begin to fray.
Eyes that plead for one more look, hearts that crave the storybook,
yet the silence fills the room, a digital divide in bloom.
In the glow of digital age, they turn the love into a cage,
sensuality in every post, forgetting what they need the most.
A family torn by screens and light,
memories of what’s at stake,
lost within the digital lair,
a breathless plea, a yearning without end.
