Updating a new poem. I wouldn’t consider this one of my best but I got inspired by the last theme from Stanzas: the Internet. The Internet is very vast and constantly expanding. It is also filled with many dangers. I have a few friends in my life that experienced cyber bullying or the Internet changed their way of thinking. So I wrote this poem with that idea in mind. Enjoy and be safe on the Internet.
Life begins on a computer screen,
The internet allows for
Numerous possibilities.
Click,
A new browser appears.
Click,
A new profile is produced.
A window for me to place new photos,
Statues on a wall,
And add new people into my life!
Life is simpler on a computer screen.
Friends can be sorted into categories:
Best, close, acquaintances and non-existent
Click,
I just unfriended you.
So simple.
Click,
Get numerous likes on statuses and pictures
That presents a new identity.
Certain pictures get me likes,
Certain statuses get me noticed.
More likes lead to a boosted ego
And an alternate life.
Click,
Send revealing pictures.
Click,
Blocking all friends,
Till there is nothing left.
Click,
Life is now empty.
Mistakes building and never disappear.
The internet, a once free source,
Spreads these misgivings and lies,
Like a virus.
Click,
Life destroyed.
Friends list gone,
Statuses are fewer,
Profile is non-existent.
Computer screen smashed,
Soul shattered.
And the remaining pieces manifest,
Mould into a beast,
Cold and non-forgiving.
A creature of the internet’s own creation!
