internet
Oh, the internet, that digital domain,
Where truth and fiction dance in disdain.
Where every keyboard warrior reigns supreme,
And cat videos rule, a bizarre meme.
Scroll through feeds of filtered perfection,
Life's highlights with a hint of deception.
Where likes and shares define our worth,
In this virtual circus, our minds go berserk.
We surf the waves of misinformation,
Conspiracies spun with no hesitation.
From flat Earth to alien invasions,
The internet fuels our imaginations.
Social media, a narcissist's paradise,
Where validation comes at a hefty price.
In a sea of selfies and shallow trends,
We drown our souls, our authenticity bends.
But oh, the trolls, those digital pests,
Hiding behind screens, they never rest.
Spewing venom with every keystroke,
Their toxicity spreads like a noxious cloak.
Privacy? Ha! What a quaint notion,
In this realm of surveillance and commotion.
Our data bought and sold like cheap wine,
To advertisers, we're just a dollar sign.
Yet here we are, addicted and enthralled,
To the internet's allure, we're all installed.
For better or worse, we're intertwined,
In this web of chaos, our fate confined.
So let's raise a toast to the cyber age,
Where irony reigns on every page.
For in this digital circus, we play our part,
Navigating the internet with wit and art.
