Theme : Life
Deleting Lives in the Cyberworld
 by Satis Shroff

The young man and his double-clicks
In a cyberworld
Of bits and bytes,
Full of elves, tough turtles, dementors,
Warriors and evil beings,
Who destroy hamlets, towns,
Civilizations,
At the command of a few clicks.

An unreal world
Where the fantasy stories
Are pre-programmed.
The elimination of farmers, slaves,
Knaves and enemy warriors,
But a click away.

You are the creator,
The maker and destroyer,
You are Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma.
Thumbs up or down,
Death to you,
Delete.

Yawn!
Your re short of amphetamines.
It s a long way to the apothecary.

More clicks,
More tiredness,
You are falling asleep.
Drowsy bits and bytes,
You haven t taken a bite.
Your inner man is growling,
But you have no time,
For bodily needs.
You are hooked
To your bits and bytes.
Oh, it bites.
