' Anybody ' , is an exceptionally well-written and thought-provoking piece. Penned with craft and skill. This talented poet's work was a privilege to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Thanks for the excellent review and all the very encouraging and flattering comments. It's always nice to hear that somebody is hooked on your writing. I will probably post a short story next, The Door into the Dark, but the poetry series will resume with Listening to the Microchips. Nice to hear from you. estory
Comment from royowen
Yes, I think you're right, in the name of human frailty, which is being anything but who one is, how God created them, not to project themselves, trying to be what they think will win approval, but the truth of the matter, it's based on being approved of, I'd rather be approved of by God, only He knows what we.actually are. He would rather you be a sinner and honest than rich, talented man, after all who gave us the gift? It's not ours anyway. Beautifully written, blessings Roy
Typo : A child (progeny) prodigy?

Thanks for the excellent review and for the interesting perspective. It's not our gift anyway. Not what I was really thinking at the time of writing this, but it is relevant to the piece and I agree. People have gone so far off course from God's will and that is a theme of this piece. Thanks for all the support. estory

Welcome
Comment from Gee
Thank you for bringing the subject to light.
Though I slightly disagree. People have always to recreate "a new me"
Trying to give an image to others that may not be the whole picture.
7.5 billion people in the world and we are all alone.
But I did enjoy your poem and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the excellent review and the interesting perspective. I'm not sure creating a public persona for yourself that is an antithesis to what you are inside is healthy. But at least I got people thinking. estory
Comment from Boogienights
I'd like to be different people at times, but only in my imagination. I don't really want to change, although the thought of other dimensions existing is fun. I think we lose a little of ourselves each day already.

Comment from Anne Johnston
Your poem really raises a lot of questions and causes us to think about technology and what is happening in our world. It is hard to know who is real anymore, and who and what we can trust.

Thanks for the excellent review and your interesting comments about the piece. I think the issues you raise are certainly part of my concerns as well. We don't really know who people are anymore, and what they are capable of. That was part of my premise for the piece. estory

You are welcome.

And you do make me think, and I couldn't.agree with you more, What is man wants of this world? It's becoming.a world I want less and less to be part of. I liked this poem, estory, and a lot. Ulla:)))

Thanks for the excellent review and your wonderful comments in support of my piece. I feel very disconnected from the world nowadays, especially from the younger generations. I don't understand what they want to achieve. estory

Exactly, neither do I. It flies against everything I believe in. Ulla:)))
Comment from harmony13
The author's words are powerful, meaningful, confronting, and creative.
Thank you so much for the author's notes - what you said in them is so
true. As I read this poem I thought about the whole time what about our "real selves"! The poem does make one think. Great Poem!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Socia media is full of fake posts and unreal situations that cunningly make us think it is real and behind these posts are people with sad boring lives. A poignant write, love Dolly x

Thanks for the excellent review and I couldn't agree with you more. I don't know what is so attractive about wanting to live in this cartoon metaverse world Facebook wants to create. estory
Comment from Gloria ....
I think it will turn out to be dangerous as a propaganda tool in the wrong hands. We think we have trouble with mixed and false messages now, wait until this kicks into action and clever people figure out how to manipulate it.
Excellent poem estory, and yes you have given us much to noodle over.

Thanks for the excellent review and you are so right. These big corperations and some governments are up to no good. estory
Comment from Irish Rain
I personally think that a great number of people
are doing just that...being anybody, and everybody.
Being their neighbors, friends, idols, whomever...
but never themselves.
That would be just too, too, boring. Why...that would
be too normal. Better to fake existence, than to actually
live it.
What a shame, what a waste.
Welcome to 2022.
Loved this,
blessings...
