Comment on how the era of social media has overtaken our lives, almost to the point of overshadowing the real world with its virtual allure.

Social media applications

Virtual worlds of perfect lives,

Pouting lips and charcoal eyes,

Photos ‘shared’ and status ‘liked.’

He says, ‘what’s up, she says ‘hi.’

Unnoticed, ignored, a wisp of smoke,

Blows in through cracks in the bolted door

Meanwhile, in the background, the first sparks fly,

The woodwork sings, the curtains ignite.

 

And yet, within the world of dreams,

When happiness is uploaded, all troubles flee;

Smiles and tears, technicolor faces convey,

And charming strangers whisk all troubles away.

Outside the windows, sirens blare,

Cries reverberate, all in a scare;

The sunset hues of lives ablaze,

Tear through the walls, all barriers raze.

 

All else fades out when the chatbox beeps,

Dark fumes all around, it’s too late to scream;

With the last breath snuffed out and vision dimmed,

‘I love you too’ blinks on the death screen…
