Shut Down

"City Streets Echo, once Vibrant, now Hushed"

In the silence of systems unplugged,

No hum of life, no flicker of light,

A world frozen in the depths of night.

Digits dance in cyberspace's void,

Where ones and zeroes once employed

To build and connect, now stand accused,

As digital veins falter, systems defused.

In this quiet surrender, a whispers rise,

Echoes of a city's stifled cries.

Powerless before an unseen hand,

We await the dawn, a digital stand.

Yet in the stillness, hope remains,

That circuits revived will break these chains.

For in every shutdown, a spark ignites,

Resilience in darkness, as day reunites.
