What if the internet was one of god's misconceptions,
a planet living in wifi connections trying so hard to stay connected
that the affected tends to roam their lives along cable lines
like the fable tides that seem to sweep everything in its path
except this time there isn't an ark nor a Noah to make a difference.
The interest of the mass is on what is trending and what is fashionable
a passable phase that seem to live and die in a short life span.
Along with the internet, society gave birth to cyber bullies and trolls
who rip holes out of an already shaking foundation
the basement and the attic aren't where we find shadows lurking
but through surfing the internet.

We have created monsters who roam bits and bytes of data
reaching victims faster than they have ever done so before,
we shut the doors to our kids lives and health
when we say "just close the computer, they'll go away"
because to this day, I have yet to see the benefits of shutting down
when shutting out is only keeping ourselves locked in with them.
They never go away, they lurk behind keystrokes
created to evoke suffering and pain amongst the greatest
because hate is something that is only ever taught.
