  Amongst peers, where they can lie about their fears.

  Pretend they’re not alone.

  Pixelated people make simulated sounds,

  Building a community where their detractors aren’t around.

  To talk and talk for hours, about their beloved obsessions.

  With friends, belonging and newfound power

  They overcome their dispossession.

  And wake to realise that at last their time has come.

  The time of brawn is over

  The rule of the mind has just begun.
