Another dream that never comes true

A few lines on how intertwined are we to the elctronic gadgets

I woke up from my journey

Half-way through the moon lit path

Another beautiful dream the tweets broke

Not from my garden birds

But from the push notifications.

I started another new day with my phone in hand

My best companion since over a decade,

He shows me the real world so virtual,

Reminds me the day, date, time and their relevance

Takes me close to my beloved ones

So close but hearts far away in the real world.

He buys me food, clothes and places to dwell

He charts my days, nights and trips around

Directs even the tiny gestures I make

We are so emotionally interlaced

That I forgot I am another human on earth.

But now I wish to ditch my friend

Amidst the long harbored resentments

On living another person’s life

Travelling destinations I never wanted to

These days I dream an adieu

With this closest friend of mine

But I know for sure that every now and then

It is just another dream that never comes true.
