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
