Virtual Song


from the ABC set PLAYING GAMES

"The lyrics of my songs

are beautiful and strong"

She is convinced of this

her life is full of bliss.

Her virtual life, I say,

her real life is nay.

Computers & screens

are all she has within.

She lost the way sometime,

now she isn't worth a dime.

Nevertheless she sings

with poisonous strings;

it's sugar for her ears

though brings some friends to tears.

"How beautiful the words!"

she thinks, but they are swords

that aiming at your heart

will tear your world apart.

They are like siren songs,

alluring sounds you long;

caressing whispers, sighs

from treacherous blue skies.

They'll take you by the hand

to websites promised lands.

To heights you never knew,

the fall...Pride black & blue.

These lyrics, yes, I know

at last your world will blow;

some hearts are cold as ice.

This is no Paradise!
