Digital Age Poem by borgjie distura

Today’s an age of instant gratification
Dominated by the young population
Neither to bring about their fall
Nor bequeath an increase for all.
This is the pristine world of technology
Where all can login and watch its beauty
This is the new space of splendid cybernetics
All can sign in by just one or two clicks.

An open village of neighbors and friends
Defying distance, bounds and ends
Inviting all to join and be part
To farm, to cook and race a cart.
An enormous abode of transparent door
Translucent windows, ceiling and floor
Takes all to come and board
Terms and agreements to your accord.

Lo and behold, light this age, diminished.
The creepy shadow instead flourished.
Irresistible technological lust takes dominion
Over the young one and peer companion.
All have access to be a performer or a voyeur
Even one’s neither a hacker nor an actor.
Just be nameless. Just be faceless.
An avatar with clothespress full of dress.
