The Connection
as our birthmarks submersed
into a welter of appliances,
human innateness, interspersed
amid the plastic grievances.
has fleshly caress become obsolete
when it forsook itself in a texting?
mankind intertwined with a greet,
through bonds perplexing.
when presences afar
are civilizations to arise,
built upon an abstract tar
oozing from great compromise
through light-emitting diodes
where globalized sight abodes,
in the virtualization of actual
henceforth, the actualization of virtual.
for when sky became the limit
our wings clipped; unnecessary
and with machines having a fit
our lifestyle transmutation; sedentary
clicking of buttons toward an oblivion,
behold, the new electrical religion-
mankind detachedly concentrated
on his gadgetry, now consecrated.
