The Old Gods were quickly swept out of our digital world
The masters of the moment have erected temples and towers
To the glory of their virtual new fortunes
Sphinges of steel searching for a riddle
While Oedipus gets lost in the realm of Narcissus
A mythologycally incorrect assumption
Even if the Oracle could foresee our world of selfies
She would find no word to translate it
Oedipus Rex became Tyrannosaurus Rex
