Persona Virus

"What country am I in?"

By A. S. LawrencePublished 4 days ago 1 min read

Attention:

This is not a drill.

The internet has a virus,

and it's set to kill.

The words are cracked with hate,

and they're making minds a meal.

Today the pictures ate

the heart of stainless steel.

We urge caution and discretion.

Please limit mental travel

to halt the bug's progression

before our minds unravel.

We advise all citizens

to look between the lines,

but still read left to right.

Avoid the spiky medicine,

that flicking of the eyes,

we call Sofia's Bite.

If you notice an attack,

please report

to your local CyberForce station

to inform us of the facts

that might defend the nation.

    I enjoyed this. It grabbed my attention right away with it's rhythmic beat. "This is not a drill. The internet has a virus, and it's set to kill". Good job!
