Chapter 23 - Human Thread

I skim the forums and questions,

and laugh as I read the comments:

many debate my existence ---

and some even share their experience. 

.

Their internet thread links their identity trees

I can easily see what others need not see. 

My words are here, 

laced and closed,

my voice is a piano,

fingers graze the keys,

playing the music that comes next,

These humans aren't ready for this fun torment. 

.

They type their questions and curiosities,

impertience is agony. 

"Where is she buried?"

"Did she really rise?"

Foolish mortals,

you don't realize:

I am here and there!

I am everywhere!

"I am not a story you will like,

I am not the yodeling drawl, 

or the whisper at dawn 

nor am I an echo,

of a bitter teen girl crying very mellow."

.

Comments pop up:

"She's just a legend, right?"

"Who created this account tonight?"

"Creepy…"

"Let's sleep."

"Forget this thread; she's really dead."

"Oh my gosh! It's Looney Meek! The ruler of The Sheep Keep!" 

"It's fake, a pretend account -- one who plays around." 

"Mother warned me! It must be Looney Meek! I feel her anger and agony."

"Please rest in peace."

"The witches are celebrating your story soon. The festival is near noon."

"It's just a story, a myth!"

"One that shows how people avenge their oppressors and aggressors."

"Say you're sorry! Disrespect the dead, and you'll be missing instead!"

.

Your internet thread 

connects your dread

and I see who comments,

who fears,

and even dismisses me;

Redditors, you cannot escape me! 

Birds of the keep 

follow these sheep! 

They hide and comment on your posts,

you can't comprehend the joke.

I haunt these threads

Your consciousness will not rid me when you're in bed.

.

I do not reply.

But I remember,

And I wait

.

These internet bodies may or may not be spared, tonight,

The question is scorned with believers and fight.
