Poem
“In no time, made myself indispensable I bask now in the sunshine of my popularity I have made the young and old my minions, Giving each one what he wants Snippets of news, served in lightning speed A magic world unraveled at the click of a button Making you sedate as with opium Turning you into addicts of my hypnotic charm Some stay wide eyed staring into my screen ‘Night owls’ who refuse to follow the dictum- ‘Early to bed and early to rise’- The time old ‘mantra’ for wellness I imprison you in a world of make believe Where only we two exist, you and I Your spirit arrested without handcuffs Your eyes, resting no more on what is around Confined to a virtual cage, you turn into a prisoner Sadly, the key in your hands tightly clutched! Remember, you are as free as you choose to be I have my sway only on the gullible....! Alas! With your sense of direction lost You turn into a moth, caught fast in my web, Mysteriously drawn into my incandescent light, Unaware of the peril looming or the claws tightening” Folks, break free of this confinement, cut off the hooks Your spinning around only makes you dizzy Digital technology turns a boon, when used discreetly Smart phones, a bliss making the whole world within reach Sans this, we fall headlong into primordial darkness, Unschooled of what happens around, unable to cope with change So squeeze out the essence and discard the dregs And embrace your transition from the possessed to the blessed!
