It was the time before the dawn of digital era,
When codes were still codes and 0 and 1s were still zero and ones.
Spirits, of course, already existed in the world of codes,
For they have always existed.
No people were aware of their existence though,
For people were busy…busy at deceiving and hurting each other using the codes.
People ended their conflict after the light was dropped from the sky,
The light as bright as the sun, although it did not bring life but death.
The era of anxiety came after the era of pain,
But people started to long for peace.
People started to use the codes not for conflict,
But for sharing knowledge and telling each other stories.
People started embracing the creations of those who were once their enemy,
Among these were the codes capable of giving laughter to children.
The codes now connect different people and different lands,
Across the deepest of ocean and over the tallest of mountain.
Spirits, or course, still existed in the world of codes,
For they have always existed and always will.
No people are aware of their existence though,
For people are busy…busy at deceiving and hurting each other using the codes.
