Social Media, Cyber Bullying, The Internet

Numerous mentalities ruled by the doctrine of the Internet
Is this principle considered a sure and safe bet
Social Media, Cyber Bullying, both portrayed on the Internet, combine all three makes an unrighteous social threat
For some, a means to communicate, yet, have never met
A thousand Likes for videos or going live fights
Posts of a cheating husband or wife
Hanging one’s self captured images, and then posted in broad daylight
 
Social groups to engage the festered rage
Everyone asking of you to Like their page
Incidents, Occurrences, life glimpsed through a portal of transferring wires
Sign up for Social Media, immediate sight accessed once required
Shares, Likes, Comments
It doesn’t matter to what or whose event
Nakedness of life caught on screen
More potent than wishful thinking or a wet daydream
Full exposure for all so it may seem
 
Transmitting megabits daily worldwide
A quiet usage of a never ending highway of information, conceived at the fingertips in no time
Technology most required and accepted hardware tool
Keystrokes, touch screen, a voice command for the wise, the meek, and the fool
Are we better off than we were before
When receptive intentions in the past, humanly knocked on our doors
 
Conversations spoken face to face, enjoyed in good-hearted grace
Now, it’s about a screen chase
No emotions or Likes for anyone who takes a righteous stance
Vocabulary weakening the mind in an eye to monitor trance
No body-to-body dances
It’s all about keystrokes of non-physical romances
Visible screen shots, Skyping, Instagram  
Who you see in front of you is who I am
Without merit, hell, I could be talking to a woman or a man
 
Incognito words typed in the dark
A spoken voice never to remark
Angry typing conversations going back and forth
Desire, Lust, displayed and then sent to import
In the past, flowers or a box of chocolates was given as a last resort
In the age of technology worldwide supported, behind its bitter use
Reducing the masses of minds, with lies, wagging tongues set loose
One send to all, your life is now on the line
Blinding wrath behind the whys
Fragile Emotions
Not an ounce founded of true devotion
 
A bully’s followers helping to maliciously spread
Laugher, jeering behind backs, ridiculed from what everyone has now read
Now blackballed Social Media shunned
A ticking time bomb, a Facebook loaded gun
The weak minds now hung
Lies, betrayal, pictures, could no longer go on
Likes, Comments, and then without a shred of decency, Shared
Parents’ rite has not even grieved the absence of a child she one bared
 
Times of today are so cruel, unjust, and gregariously unkind
The Internet, a mental tease to enthrall the mind
Give power to the wicked, the thoughtless, and the emotional blind
Social Media has no tears to shed from its eyes
It does not care about the posts or the whys
Millions of users, so many lies
 
This is the three nuisances that have bothered me the most
As the writer and the narrative host
This is a Nurse’s wish list roast
Think about the words as you write
Never send anyone to their death, or stewing in anger when posting, it’s just not right
Guide your mind to that divine powers that be, lock that spiritually essence inside that sets you free
Remember this triple threat discussed can be used at times improperly

Author's Note
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
