Trolling


Deep in cyber space

Internet trolls hiding

Behind fake names


Eyebrows raised

Fangs sticking out 

From crooked grin

Hungry for blood

Hover over 

Looking for preys


Words as weapons 

Sharper than spears

Arranged in lethal ways

Post on social media 

As if launching missiles 

To attack


Their lies rip 

Through blind crowd

Victims whine helplessly 

As trolls take

Sadistic pleasure 

From these sufferers



His Secret


It was long ago and now again

Their lives crisscross

In social media he stumbles into her 

The first love that carved deeply in his heart


It is far away yet so near 

Staring at her on the screen he feels as if

He could extend his arms to hold her

Alas, she is in someone else’s embrace 


It is just a light click away to reach her

Yet his finger is heavier than a ton

As it is interlocked with another woman’s

At last, his sanity beats his temptation 


It might stir up a ripple only 

But a destructive wave is also possible

A risk he dares not take

Rather he just follows her 

Quietly in cyberspace



Social Media Trust

 

It’s a jungle in cyberspace

Reaching globally, social media users

Are swimming in worldwide milieu

 

In this vast communicating platform

With countless users hiding behind screens

How perilous when issue of trust is dealt with

 

Never lacking are those predators 

Scammers, profiters and political influencers

Roaming around the world wide web

Lurking and prowling for prey

Feeding public with fake news, propaganda,

clickbait, exploiting business and many others


It is a jungle out there 

Full of tricks and traps

We take our own risks

To gallivant around internet
