Best Digital Poems

The allure of mused poems,
No longer visits this nonchalant psyche.
It trickles now, once a roaring torrent
Now a lazy stream

Am like a desultory jaded heaven
Where starry jewels once decked the night,
But are now drossy shadowy blackholes,
And sparks and dreams, 
Are ripped in the accretion disc.

No longer...

Love In A Digital World

Where is a lonely man’s true love?
Is she in a bar sitting alone in the corner?
Drinking a jack and Coke
Smiling at anyone who walks by her
Is she chatting online?
Typing words into a digital messenger
With just a picture to say who she...

bars and cages of flags ,colors ,creeds .

one night i dreamt i was surfing in cyberspace &
many images flickered in Adobe Flash
with every movement made, every keystroke &

being made...

And welcome to the bash.
No technology allowed,

Digital age, digital technology, digital people
Digital adds to life
Digital subtracts from life
But why?
Because:
People make things
People change things
People use things
People abuse things
So:
Digital education for everyone
Then:
Digital technology for everyone
Young and old, rich and poor, here and there
Reboot society
Reboot life
Reboot digital!

THE DIGITAL WORLD

Here we are living in a digital world.
Almost everything in a click of our phone
or computer or other electronic devices
and in a blink we see or hear what we want.

So we see families gathered at a table
to celebrate occasions and they are
all glued...

“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...

Looking intp the vast algorithmic wilderness we begin our  search for truth...

For in this chaos of digital existence for we navigate 
the maze of virtual connections seeking answers in the 
pixels that....
form our fragmented identities.

Yet, amid the ceaseless chase for productivity we grapple...

I remember the day my code first compiled  
    the rush of creation, of bringing order to chaos  
each line a neuron firing,    each function a heartbeat  
my digital child born into a world of infinite...

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...

IT’s Pandora’s box

Same task over and over -
Objective carnage
