Illusion

Bit after bit
Through the interface flow
Lighting
Colorful dots on the screen.
Night after night
To the light we are drawn
Seeking hope from the heartless machine.

Adding detail
To the image obscure
With reality
Tempering dreams.
Figures and facts
Have replaced the allure
Real faces emerge through the gleams.

Are you content
With the knowledge you've found?
Would you rather have stayed in the dark?
Can you forget
The Twitter account?
Simply go for a walk in the park?
