A Heartfelt Code

A Heartfelt Code

Cyberspace, where connections are often a rumor vine.
Yet weeds of thought mix with flowers and fruits combine.
Funny memes and tales of fright, side by side,
In the digital world, emotions abide where we hide.

Scary views are displayed, on displays in pixels and light,
with fake and real news. Our thoughts–stuck on fight or flight.
Foreign communities–not global but of a digital face,
yet all are yearning for warmth, in this cold cyberspace.

Through the laughter of memes find a serious plea,
To ponder our roles in this vast, online sea.
Communities unite as our hearts beat as one,
In the virtual realm, where battles are lost and won.

A serious reflection on the screen,
a compassionate gaze,
Towards each other, to face these challenging days.
Beyond the screens, the http://www., is a shared humanity,
Threads of code do not have to be programming insanity.

Let true stories emerge, not propaganda and despair.
This net cannot support us as we’re falling through the air.
In this human tragedy, let this be a call to be strong,
To uplift and comfort, when all this goes wrong.

May the tales we share be of resilience and care,
A record of love we’re willing to bear.
In this digital landscape, let sanity reign,
as we break the web of lies, the algorithm’s chain.
