The Cyber

Welcome to the digital realm of cyberspace
Take a gander through all things in time and space
Look right right we have furry Pokémon
Look left left we have pokey furry fun

Right, theres games, music and shows
But left there’s games for the other folk, and hoes
Behind me is the darkness where chemicals lie
Besides the violence, and watching unlawful eyes

But still a bit of that to the left of the wares
With erotic videos of otters, twinks and bears
We’ve got movies and sports, both purchased, for now
Or off the Queen Annes Revenge, taken its bow

There’s physical books and virtual stores,
But ebooks we’re out of – can copy no more
All in-front of the heads being cut off the lamb,
And the process of branding a screaming man

Theres Starbucks, he’s starbuck, and she’s starbuck again
With limitless knowledge, and all the lies of Jen
Write scripts to pour through information at light speed
Or let your fingers bleed prompts, becoming ChatGPT’d

People were ignorant before they could access the data
But with this new access, their senses comes later

Lets hallucinate documents about government conspiracy
And ride into the light upon waves of fictitious tranquility
Welcome to cyberspace, the scourge of sin
Or could it be the brink our our salvation if we let it in
