Lyric

The glow of screens lights up the skies

But only those who hold the wires can rise

They say that “connection is a right”

But for the locked-out ones—it’s out of sight

A classroom where the Wi-Fi's dead

Dreams erased, no words are said

AI evolves, the cloud expands

But leaves behind the silent hands

One click can change the world, they say

But not for those kept far away

No voice, no screen, no path to climb

Just frozen still in offline time

Digital divide, the wall unseen

The door to the future—locked by machines

One side holds light in pixel streams

The other fades into broken dreams

Voices lost beyond the net

Where hope just buffers in regret

Connected souls may rise and grow

But what is taken, we'll never know

Fingers brushed an old flip-phone

Their future drawn in dial tones

They said “equal chance for every mind”

But streams don’t reach the slums behind

The cloud holds dreams they’ll never touch

Disconnected—missing much

No alerts, no ringing sound

Just silence pulling futures down

Algorithms decide the fate

Who gets the key, who must wait

A cable's twist, a code, a name

Can seal the door or feed the flame

Digital divide, the gate denied

Passwords keep the truth inside

Some inherit a seamless sky

While others watch their chances die

The voices call through broken wires

Signals drowned in quiet fires

They never asked for luxury

Just access, hope, and dignity

Behind the wall, a muted cry

They type for help but get no reply

Hope entered in a search bar blank

But no result returns, just static thanks

They scream “equality for all!”

But only few receive the call

The ones who own the silent cords

Decide what progress will afford

The last mile never reached their door

Wireless freedom’s just folklore

Fiber rails bring privilege near

The rest dissolve in digital fear

Children stare at fading dreams

Blocked by “access denied” screens

No seeds to grow, no path to bloom

Just data deserts, silent gloom

Inside the system, voices fade

But still they shout, still unafraid

Not asking much, not asking gold

Just the right to not be left in cold

Digital divide, the wall still stands

The future shaped by hidden hands

One side writes the world in code

The other walks a darkened road

Voices echo past the wire

Hope flickers out without a fire

Those who logged in hold the reigns

The rest just vanish from the chains

Behind a login screen they wait

But see “Username Not Found” as fate

The world keeps spinning on its track

While offline silence holds them back

False reforms, and hollow vows

“Access for all,” they promise now

But still the keys are kept away

By those who code the world today

Digital divide, unseen, unhealed

The password’s truth is still concealed

Those with light decide what’s real

The rest forget how dreams could feel

Behind the wall, the quiet remains

A severed signal in their veins

Connected ones may
