Out in the real world they march around like angry ants
huddled masses each in their lone planets, never seeing
eyes averted, grim faces, grimmer minds, quick steps
as if every one is searching for something lost in the wind
never seeing who's next to them, never knowing who's lost or
lonely
In the subway heads are buried in broadsheets or giveaways
voices hardly rise above whispers as papers rustles in turns
a cough there, a sneeze here, doors opening, doors shutting
only the voices of kids and teenagers peel in the carriages
A pregnant lady stands, no male got up and offered her his seat
the carriage is a sealed capsule going to space and all is plugged in
Come evenings and in slippers and comfy dressing gowns
life suddenly begins, computers fires up and every one
rushes into communities online, its facebook, its instangram
its twitter, its this and its that, virtual humanoids in virtual lands
the frustrated trolls dribbling spittle, mad eyes rolling, springs alive
their day has began as they take seats in their Office of Hate and
Insanity
Hello Pippa, , hello John, hello Blanko, and the chatters begins
stories are shared, pictures downloaded, gossips do the rounds
My wife did this, that person grows okra and **** tell of his
students
you could almost hear ices clinking in glasses as if all were at a
party
Troll 1 has that Posh successful lady, she serves at the cafe, in her
sight
Troll 2 is after the ex who told everybody he has a little floppy ****
Troll 3 has it in for the that flashy rich black footballer with the Bentley
Tomorrow they will all go out again, wearing blank faces marching like ants
eyes down turned, muted voices and heads buried in rustling papers
Some would sneeze and some one would clear their throat loadly
Pippa may be seated next to John but neither would know each other
Bobby cancells seeing mum later, he's got to finish that Minecraft battle
Eddie retired, sits all day surfing, waiting for all his friends to come online
Whilst Sammy has started virtual *** webcaming with that Chatrulette ******
Human lives go on. but its in the virtual world now, minus our humanity.
