The Cave
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Allegory_of_the_cave
I cast my glance across a vast expanse...
A world of possibilities expands
The composite crystal portal swirls revealing scenes of distant lands
Trail of thought derailed, as I click by click advance
Excavating treasure troves of buried words
Ancient footprints preserved that shook very earth
Where do knowledge springs eternal surge to quench my nerdy thirst?
Let me do tersely worded query search with qwerty first
Curiosity occurs, I purr adrift in written words
Seemed a gift at first, but I’m afflicted with the kittens curse
A peer amid these nihilist, papyrus scrolled but didn’t reed it
Distant glimpses reminisce the promised land of freedom seen from Egypt
No one seeks admission to this secret prison
My personal Guantanomo in 4K with Dolby vision
Completely captivated by these shades projected on a screen
Disconnected, in the dark… exactly where I wanna be
Peak beyond this liquid crystal pixel perfect distillation
Of engineered virality and manufactured titillation
Pierce the veil and you can see reality properly
Blinded by technology, we never escaped the cave of socrates
