Though on-line videos amaze,
We live a virtual life these days;
“Woke’s” modern mindset often jars,
Why jazz up the lives of Stars?
As for the hype at Halloween:
Such garish packaging’s obscene;
This “silliness” attains new heights
Yet still that urge to spend delights!
Perhaps we should muse and reflect
On what is posted on the Net;
Switch off and take walks in the wood…
This disconnect does us no good.
Yet magic fuels our mundane lives
So, what from childhood still survives?
Once, rainbows led to pots of gold
With unicorns in centre fold!
Sad inner child has gone to sleep
So, A.I. digs its claws in deep;
Goggle-eyed we stare at screens
And cannot now recall lost dreams…
