Lord of the Flies 2013
Marooned on a desert island
the boys sit patiently
waiting for a mobile signal.
At last, the bolder ones set out
in search of free wi-fi,
while the boffin tries to figure out
the cheat mode which will release them.
Food in trees
remains inaccessible
in the absence of ropes and harnesses
- these lads know their health and safety.
Slowly fading, bitter, helpless
the children fantasize
about who they can sue over this fiasco.
Piggy is the last one standing
for obvious reasons.
