Attention: Missing Persons.

Attention, all citizens - remain alert, remain sure.

We’re in the midst of a devastating, ongoing, silent war.

In this conflict of networks, signals and blue-light glare,

Countless are missing - vanished in what seems to be thin air.

-

Last Seen - living, dancing, unrecorded;

No ring lights, no lenses, not showcasing their life “sorted”.

-

Last Seen - smiling for no one but themselves;

Reading in the library, amongst the dusty shelves.

-

Distinguished features - known prior to disappearance;

Not “liked” on any apps for your visual clearance.

-

Textured skin,

Present eyes,

Nervous systems calm,

Sitting in a quiet room, thoughts cause no silent harm.

Watching a concert,

No phone light,

No camera in their hands,

In a crowd, singing the lyrics to all their favourite bands.

-


Do not mistake these features for filters or edits;

This fuels the machine with further profits, further credits.

-

Do not misconstrue with any emojis or captions;

These are just false idols for your screens reactions.

-

Search teams have scoured childhood bedrooms and diaries;

However, all found were well past their dated expiries.

-

Search parties turned over every desk and old school chair;

Chewed gum stuck underneath was all the evidence to share.

-

Reports have confirmed they are now chained to all the feeds,

Subscribed to different platforms that supports their “social” needs.

-

If you see the unrecorded, know their confusion may cause resist,

But be firm, hold tight, stay with them - ensure they still exist.
