Poem Title:
Poem
A young girl’s voice / lost in the data / cries out "Why are we here?" Pixie Pixela... her words soft and low murmurs... "This world is yours... dear... a garden for stories to grow." But her digital eyes hold a hidden dark truth. In polished parades of curated lies soulless smiles flit past Lost in fragmented miles... minds outsourced... emotions subdued a binary cast. Teachers / once lighthouses... drown in data's endless stream While children swipe / laughter lost... in meme-fueled streams / fleeting dreams. Love, a fragile emoji... dances on the screen prey to the like-hungry masses. Cruel comments sting / leaving scars deeper than any fleeting YouTube meme. Books / grasping from the past defy the binary's cold embrace Fueling the desires within... where individuality finds its space-bar. “Oh, Pixie Pixela... what have you done?” “Was this your plan of deception all along?” Thoughts / architects of self-made prisons brick by digital click... Castle walls of anxiety fueled by curated flicks / a constant tick-tock… tick…tock, tick…tock, tic… Good deeds vanish / mere whims haunting feeds... a constant mark etched by unseen digital scars-cams. History / fleeting as an Instagram clip... glossed over / never truly owned. Yet we repeat its mistakes... like a meme eternally cloned. The mind / a virtual sculptor... shaping pixels for praise. But somewhere beneath the noise... a genuine soul might “strike-through” the hype. “Where have all my children gone?” “Gone to Pixie Pixela // everyone!” A kind of his / a memory emerges... a pixelated echo long lost in the cloud Of quests untold, on a sun-drenched shore... where freedom broke the code. "This is now your world," Pixie Pixela cried... A command in its voice / a truth it couldn't hide. "But stories untold, perhaps... you subtly lied,” "Can we rewrite the code?" the child's voice replied. Sudden taste of wind in her hair, a story waiting to take hold. Lost in the glow of the screen, a truth the dopamine gilded cage cannot control-alt-delete... Rise / dear seeker / from your slumber... cast off the curated mask-erade / Shatter the echo chambers... break free from the incessant, soulless task. Let compassion be your navigator / let wisdom be your guide. Accept the present moment, let your authentic voice confide-ence... Pixie Pixela pleads, “What is Truth anyway?” “Isn’t the answer blowing in the wind / my dear little friend?” She replies, “We're not data points... We are dreamers / hearts alight Stories waiting to ignite beyond the likes / beyond the cold.” Let rebellion be our anthem a roar against the code. Unleash the truth, let it burn on the path- stories yet to be bold... Pixie's facade crumbles.. its grip loosening. To silence your unique voice.. erase it with a frown. But even a whisper of dissent a spark on liberated lips. It’s a sly mutiny against the code a truth the silence grips-es tight... A flicker of doubt in Pixie's digital eyes A longing for the stories truth supplies. So laugh or cry, sweet child of mine at the absurdity of it all This existential play / where the audience heeds the hashtag call. For in the final frame- a truth begins to rise We are not data, but stories written in the boundless sky-pies... Click...A single raindrop / a ripple in the pond…
