Mirage
In the vast cyber desert
Where people thirst for truth
I stumbled on a website
Called the Poetry Soup
Welcome to the Poetry Soup
The cyber voices said
Was it an oasis?
Or was it all in my head
So I tapped on the keyboard
And i began to write
My words were illuminating
I was a warrior of light
But the desert sun got too hot
And my words began to burn
So I tapped 'escape' on the keyboard
But the site would always return
So I asked the cyber captain
To program my release
He just said "That's not what we believe
We are only programmed to receive
You can logout any time you please
But you can never leave!"
