What Has The Internet Become? Poem by Boston Kelley

What Has The Internet Become?



The worldwide web is a great achievement
For it is a pinnacle of human technology,
A means of communication and information,
But, alas, our own wickedness has leaked onto it.

People use it for various heinous acts,
exercising their evil over others from a distance.
All sorts of abuse reign in the digital world
As people hide behind their screens.

Obscenity and vulgarity stand as royalty
In theworld.
Lewdness and indecency have found their place
In a realm where it can go unpunished.

Deception is easily fallen for
Through fake love and false romance.

I ask, when did such a great thing become a perversion?
How could humanity do so much cruelty through technology?
Immorality has established itself as king
In the digital kingdom.
Hatred, perversity, and ambition act as
its servants.
Like an army that destroys and conquers everything
In its path, they sweep from one phone, computer,
Laptop to another, taking control of whoever owns it.

Fortunes are lost as people are deceived,
love is feigned to support another person's goals,
mockery is used to tear down,
And vulgarity is regarded as a pleasant thing.

The Internet continues to remain
As a vessel for evil.
