Digital Predator

I come back home after

a long tiresome day

Sitting alone I feel

the emotions in me want a escape

as I curiously hop on to social media. 

I scroll through the feed and find a 

different world altogether;

a ravaging fire comes second

to the hate and lies being peddled 

the predators are hungry for the day’s meal—

trolls, abuses, hatred….

Unsettled… 

I turn off the internet

and try to sleep. 

Meanwhile, my brain keeps pondering:

how do they manage to sleep peacefully

after giving these sleepless stints to others.
