The Digital Youth

In a field where there are no fences
Our children roam without their senses

They live their lives, always connected
Another image uploaded, unprotected

An instant notification, it must be checked
Nothing important, another conversation wrecked

The cloud above is certainly dark
Yet our youth continue to embark

The dark web awaits their parents forebode
Big brother watches travellers of the silk road

The youth retreat, they've sold their soul
Teenagers lost to the internet black hole
