From my electric platform
The world’s attention rapt
My calling thus to perform
On keys my glad hands clapped
The glowing screen keeps me warm
Socially handicapped
Isolation as the new norm
In my little world I’m trapped
Online I can be a giant
A little girl or little boy
An iconoclast defiant
As God create and then destroy
A cowed weakling compliant
Taking the beatings to enjoy
Role as hooker or as client
All the personas I employ
Kneel before the narcissist
Reflect upon the lips unkissed
Ordinary specialist
In two dimensions I exist
Grovel to the narcissist
Pixels imperfect I consist
Ergo egos owe egotist
On such attentions I subsist
Confuse virtual with virtue
A life with online
Unable to assert to
The ether thus consign
Extroverted introverts who
Exist without sunshine
Such fantasies must hurt true
Depopulation by design
Kneel before the narcissist
Reflect upon the lips unkissed
Ordinary specialist
In two dimensions I exist
Grovel to the narcissist
Pixels imperfect I consist
Ergo egos owe egotist
On such attentions I subsist
