In realms of code and data streams,
Two worlds diverge, or so it seems,
One is bound by touch and sight,
The other pulses in the digital light.
In the physical world, we reside,
With family, and homes where dreams collide,
Houses, parks, and bustling streets,
With love and hate and life’s heartbeats.
Emotions bloom like flowers in spring,
Empathy, revenge, the melodies they sing,
A carpet woven of human threads,
In the world where flesh and soul spreads.
But on the digital plane, a single screen,
Holds a universe vast, unseen,
Mobile devices, our portals to the byte,
A gateway to knowledge, wrong or right.
Apps aplenty, a million strong,
In this pixelated world we all belong,
Communication, commerce, music, and more,
A digital landscape to explore.
Yet, as it grows, it consumes our time,
Replacing moments that once were prime,
The physical realm begins to recede,
As the digital’s allure gains speed.
From healthcare to directions, it guides our way,
We shop, we learn, and there we stay,
But in this expanse, a shadow lies,
Dimming connections, human ties.
Work from home, a new norm’s embrace,
Furthering the issue, a digital space,
Human interaction finds a new plane,
Yet something vital begins to wane.
Fear not, for choices are still in hand,
To keep both worlds in a balanced band,
Step outside, feel the sun’s warm embrace,
Let nature’s touch your spirit chase.
Set limits on screens, make time to share,
Moments with loved ones, show them you care,
Balance the scales, find a middle route,
In a life not purely virtual, there’s much to boot.
Embrace the change, but never forget,
The value of touch, of laughter, and yet,
Hold tight to the physical, the world that’s real,
In both realms, let your heart heal.
The future’s bright, if we take heed,
To keep alive the things we need,
Two worlds coexist, side by side,
Let’s shape a future where both worlds can abide.
Guchi.
