A ping to rule us!

Eyes so deep into this world
That’s confined in a lifeless fate
Replete with knowledge and gratification instant
We miss out the wonder in this tranced state

An easy escape from the unknown
Of what the next second unfolds
Or the cave-in to convenience
That trumps what mundane life holds

The world’s grown more silent
A bit more lonely, a bit more absorbed
To know a thousand name
Or recognise a thousand face
Is what we claim for fame

Lost is the era, of social and self
Where less, real and stillness thrives
A jump in the abyss of marvel
Only to come out alive!
