Lost Online

Am tired of artificiality around me...

Am tired of the rats around

Going in circles around me..

Spelling success in a platter

of grades, ranks and rungs

Hugs, kisses, how are you and fine

Across flickers of a screen

Technology...umph...

I wish God I knew

How a kiss is different from a smooch

God I don't want to be part of this din

I don't want gift vouchers for life

I want to be me

Just me, just me

Am lost online

I wish a cave man comes

To take me away

from this maddening din.
