In Silence — where Verses breathe —
A Screen — dims the Light —
Where Poetry once trembled
Now Pixels — steal the Might —
The Stream — a siren's endless Call —
Displacing Thought and Dream —
Where Verses once would rise supreme —
Now flickers — a vapid Scheme —
How many Poems — never
Behind the Glowing Pane —
How many Worlds — Unsung
Consumed by Digital Reign —
The Poet's Solitude — now rent
By Constant — Fleeting Scenes —
Where bred Imagination
Now Distraction — intervenes —
