In the hallowed halls of modern times, society's song unwinds, Once proud towers now devolve, shadows cast upon the minds, Tenebrous hues, the world imbues, as veiled truths conspire, A dance of discordant notes, symphony of souls mired. Amidst the digital haze, minds ablaze, lost in virtual maze, In labyrinthine code, society erodes, a cryptic disarray, Synaptic empires wane, severed from earthly terrain, Ethos fades, as echoes cascade, an empire's solemn bane. Beneath veneers of opulence, avarice's opus plays, Gilded crowns conceal the frowns, a civilization's disarray, Prosperity's guise belies demise, a quagmire of disdain, With alabaster smiles beguiled, the core begins to wane. A sepulchral cadence quivers, tectonic plates of culture shift, Surreptitious whispers linger, as sanctity and virtue rift, Philistines in parlance prance, virtue's beacon dims askance, A once revered renaissance, now lost in ashen trance.
