He’s Who’s Next (Ghazal)
transfixed by screens glowing white flashing text
immediate gratification, see who’s next
beep ping sounds of bells check the vacant dream
don’t look around at real sounds, be who’s next
ringing, singing, zinging like pin ball. real
fixation, woops almost tripped, he’s who’s next
isolated heads in virtual clouds
look around, can’t, new text — she’s who’s next
who is god anyway, chasing golden dreams
tap magic buttons it’s mine, free who’s next
eyes down, prayers ain’t up gettin my fix
real time, not prayer time, send key who’s next
distant Allah cries, humanity gone
disappeared in bright screens, but He’s who’s next
