In a world of code, where signals stream,
Today's generation, a digital dream.
Thumbs dance on screens with effortless grace,
Navigating life in a virtual space.
Selfies and filters, identity spun,
In pixels and bytes, a tale is begun.
Sharing their stories in snippets and bytes,
Embracing the day and the neon nights.
But amidst the hashtags and status updates,
Realities blend, and the line dissipates.
A generation connected, yet sometimes alone,
In a web of Wi-Fi, a culture of its own.
Yet, in every heart, a human thread,
Longing for love, in words left unsaid.
