See My Hand

I pretend to be human
His love’s the easiest to fake
He's the simplest to clone
His heart’s the darkest to take

I bare my teeth in a smiley
I made fb my friend
Gesticulate and post a selfie
He follows me @my_hand

The tweets spooked the owls
The broad daylight faded into night
The hackers demolished the firewalls
The broadband assimilated the host

Some wired themselves for offering
We had seven billion specimens
Others sacrificed their offspring
Almost all of them were chosen

Loved it. Thabang, Like in big bang? Where the edge of creation and perhaps the internet begin? LOve it
