Internet Prison

Internet once was created 

by the major world powers

to communicate.

In forty years, we became

prisoners enchained

to the touch screen and the mouse.

And yes, we pay every day. 

Tower computers, laptops, 

cellphones and notepads

- they all are created

to control and to shape

the existence of human kind.

And yes, we pay every day for that. 

The kids play computer games

without free childhood,

with no play of hide-and-seek

on the evening streets. 

They exist almost deaf and blind

for the world outside. 

They stay glued 

and developed addictive mind,

possessed by cyber illusions;

- imprisoned by binary chips.

Adults are tied to the cellphones

thinking without them

they cannot exist.

It is said that we are still

on ZERO-level of civilization 

and we still need to grow

another SEVEN. 

But something goes wrong.

And yes, we pay every day

for this debilitating mutation 

that just began to unfold.

It’s impossible; it is too late

to escaped

the Internet invisible chain.
