Okay Okay ...
So It’s Time For A Change ...
And A System Upgrade ...

ALL Because ...
Of This Corona Strain ...
That’s Causing People PAIN ... !!!

Loss of Breath And Death Oh Yes ...
If Your Immune System Is Low Or Weakened ...

So The System Upgrade ...
Is Quick To Now Say ...
That You Needn’t Be Afraid ...
But Now Should ... ISOLATE ... !!!!

Oh And Also By The Way ...
You’ll Face A Magistrate ...
If You Are Out Too Late ...

Police Will Make You Pay ... !!!

So The New System DICTATES ...
That Right Now Police States ...
Are Part of New Upgrades ...
The System Needs To Make ...

NO HEAVEN Just ... FORSAKE ...
Old Ways To Make For CHANGE ...

WITHOUT Obama’s Face ... !!!!!

Restrictions Now In Place ...
Will Simply ... REARRANGE ...
Most Peoples’ Day To Day ...

The Development of Apps ...
That’ll Let You Know Who Has ...
Corona Issues ... TRACKED ... !!!

So Folks Will Get The HACK ...
As To When They Should ...

........... STAND BACK ..........

From Their Fellow Humans ... !!!

But Still Some Trains Are Stacked ...
Commuters ... So Programmed ...
That They WON’T Wash Their Hands ...
of Pursuing System Cash ... !?!

Well Cash May Be Erased ...
By This System Upgrade ...
Banking Now Refined ...
To Paying For Things Online ...

But As A Few Have Said ...
What About Those With No Smart Phones ...
And No Access To The Internet ... ?!?

This Upgrade May Leave Them Dismayed ...
When What They Face ...
Is A System Based On A New Tech Age ...

Where Tech Programmes ...
May Leave Them Trapped And Strapped For Cash ...

This New Upgrade ...
Has Paved The Way For Political Games ...
And Political Names To Make Upgrades ...

Due To This Corona ...
That May Well Prove To Be ...

WORSE Than ... Ayatollahs ... !!!

Upgrades In Store To Programme For SURE ... !!!
Our New Young Hoards With Much Much More ...

Than They May Like ...

No Going Outside At CERTAIN TIMES ...
Or They’ll Face Fines That Increase Overtime ...
If Your Caught More Than Once ... !!!

... Doesn’t Sound Like Fun ... !!!!

This Corona War ...
Will Now Enforce Draconian Laws ... !!!!!

And REDUCE FREEDOMS So That Governments ...
Can Use The Net To Go ... CASHLESS ...
An Upgrade Set That May ... UPSET ...
Poor Folks Whose Lives Are NOT ONLINE ...

Or In New Tech Trends That Don’t Utilise Them ...
That’s Right Like New Technology ...
Like The One Now Called ... “ 5G “ ... !!!!!

An Upgrade That Some Now Believe ...
May Well Feed This Disease ... RADIOACTIVELY ... !!!!!!

Conspiracy Theories Now Spread On Internet Feeds ...
That The Powers That Be Say Are ... FALLACIES ... !!!

So This Upgrade’s Sent A New Message Oh Yes ...
Not By SMS Or By ... Internet Text ... !!!

But Through A New Tyrant An Infectious Virus ...
That Will Now Inject A New Deathly SILENCE ... !!!!!

On Streets And Indeed In HUMANITY ...
This Corona Strain Has Systemically Changed ...
The Way People Behave And How We’ll Now Engage ...

It’s Clear That Things Will ... NEVER ... !!!
EVER Be The Same ... AGAIN ... !!!

It’s The Dawn of A NEW AGE ...

That’s Now Made A ....

.... “ System Upgrade “ .... !!!
Systems are indeed, changing, and definitively upgrading !

Nowadays everybody seem lost in their mobiles
Seeing the ones they’re yet to befriend as hostiles
Neglecting what used to be human values
We now even forget about our own statues

Too scared to exchange words with strangers at the park
We forget that nature too used leave a memorable mark
We seem to forget about the world around us, for in our hands we hold an omnipotent device

I wait for your reply
I am a puppy dog
Seemingly naive to the time passing by
But the tick-tock rattles to my very teeth
Please undo the collar
Unbuckle my leash
I wag when you enter, cry when you leave
What else could you want from me?
I need attention
I want to run free
Or, you could give me some affection...
Just hit send
And that would put my suffering to an end

"Happy" a label
Whole families watch cable
Ditch dinner tables
It seems like too many Americans are brainwashed by media instead of spending time with eachother
That message I sent
On a random cosy night
Laying in my bed
And you gave it a sight
From a single dm
To texting every day
Those Long WhatsApp VNs
Gosh we had so much to say
That was all we had
In this modern-day

Maybe I'll never forget
That wink emoji you sent
Nothing ever made me blush
And forget everything that I had to vent

Hugging you for that one last time
Pretending for a moment that you were mine
Life is quite strange these days
Technology holds the power to your smile in so many different ways

For you aren't around now yet
Each memory we shared stays
In my heart and amidst my gallery in a phase
Covering everything from where we ate to where we met

Sometimes I'll stare at the sky
Wondering what would make you smile
Asking my self just the reason why
Are you away from me, a thousand miles

Is this the fate of our lasting bond
one side breaks apart and another one responds
was it the situation or the distance at play
for us not texting each other throughout the day

Maybe expecting that notification is my definite mistake
for not everyone can live up to this false piece of cake
There's not a day where I don't think of you
not an effort gone by where I wish all this was still new

It's strange how quickly special turns to normal these days
what once meant the world to me is now just a blurry haze
Despite all this, I shall keep waiting each day
for you to be back in just the same way

Those Long WhatsApp VNs
Gosh we had so much to say
That was all we had
In this modern-day
After all, we're just those people waiting for that one message, that one call, that one notification of the person that our heart beats for. Although your heart could beat for many, many of us just have that special someone who can just make us smile.

digital age kids
living in digital age dreams
we got the magic
to turn rot into dollar signs
we are living in our screens
we can’t go outside and smell
the polluted air
without a rectangle
in between our fingertips
the way you speak
words cannot escape your mouth
it’s at the tip of your tongue
it will never come out
you don’t know how to express yourself
you don’t even make eye contact
with your friend’s mom
a friend you only see four times in a year
depending on their mood that year
old and new people watch your every move
they don’t stop
and get to know you on a deeper level
superficial sentiments is all they know
this is what it is
to live in a digital age
living digital age dreams
dreams of wanting attention
and never be willing to follow through
an ode to all the kids that interacted more with their phones than real life
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2020


The comfort and luxury of the world today
we have more than we did on any other day.

No old-fashioned letters or telephone calls,
today technology does it all.

Latest gadgets and gizmos we have access to
that make our days easier to get through.

Separate fact from fiction,
or look up a definition

Technology has got you covered
better than you’ve ever wondered.

Just press a button and watch it happen
technology better that you can imagine.

Like a genie in a bottle that will give you three wishes,
technology, on the other hand, does not have a limit.

Ask what you want you’ll get a reply
with a clear answer of how and why.

Technology will keep on getting better
but it’s a good idea to keep in mind that
old-fashioned letter.


Nothing beats a hand-written letter to a special someone.

the smokey memories of Summer
fan on high, combatting heat waves
hair glued to the forehead from sweaty laughter
on the phone for one, two, three many hours
always laughing

but now the sticky fire is gone
noses are runny and temples are cold
dry knuckles chafe against a keyboard wanting to smell the same laundry detergent from a Summer back in time
drying eyes redden as rivers flow into the scorching season
a wet upper lip trembles at time lost
hours on the phone, or lying in bed alone?
always trembling
