William Lewis, 22nd Century Explorer

William Lewis woke up one day to see 
a jungle, frightening and dark,
not knowing how he had arrived there
or which way he should embark.

He heard the stirrings of strange creatures
in every cranny and nook. 
There was fear, violence, and aggression 
in all directions his eyes took.  

In trepidation, he wondered, "where am I?",
as he got ready for a fight.
"Is this another planet, or is this Hell?" 
he asked and slogged the bitter night". 

Just then, he was interrupted by a voice
that informed William as it spoke,
"Your free trial has been completed. 
It's time that you awoke."

Upon hearing this, he remembered 
he had signed up to see,
given it was the year 2125,
"How is the new virtual reality?"

The legal team and marketers decided,
based on this beta trial,
a warning label must be attached
stating the risk of experiences, vile.

We search through the contents of your brain
and take what we can find, 
WARNING: THE WORLD THAT YOU WILL LIVE IN,  
IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR MIND.
