The Digital Divide


============================================================

Gone are the days when faces were buried into books 
We are now phasing out the books for FaceBook 
Those were times when kids jumped, played hide-n-seek and bruised knees 
Now it's all about swiping, wiping and fidgeting with keys... 

The delight of the serendipitous "How are you what's up"? 
Is gradually uprooted by the famous "WhatsApp" 
If you have anything to say that's short and sweet 
Then O dear you should Tweet Tweet Tweet! 

The thumbs up on a click is what all of us "Like" 
The mighty bug has that smitten old and young alike 
The age has come where we are Linked In digitally 
The paradox being the disconnect that prevails emotionally 

The "apple-bite" has ushered new eras in the present and the past  
Haunting Adams and Eves across the globe in the shadow it cast 
"Share" it if you "Like" or "Comment" if you have thoughts 
But this is the order of the day you "Like" it or not!   

Let's try to do a balancing act for posterity's sake 
By giving the real life a chance and e-socialization a break
