Virtuoso
Virtual touch cannot replace touch
the nourishment of skin on skin.
The particulars of sunset on the beach
out performs the highest defined pixels.
One tantalizing tingle on the tongue
exceeds stimulation of sensory simulation.
Vibrations originating from their source
are the best beat on the drum.
The aroma of the coming rain, breakfast cooking in the kitchen,
or grandma\'s pie,
cannot compare to the scratch and sniff
substitutes imagined but not experienced.
If we are not careful we lose our sense
and then all our other senses are stolen away.
Common sense is lost by slight of hand
and while we are hypnotized and dazed
the mesmerizing flow of information
carries our five senses away.
While we walk around with our head in the cloud
the enemy is stealing our very soul.
And with devices we hold in our hand
we have surrendered away control.
Be careful of the Pied Piper\'s melody
The virtuoso of relational captivity.
