Social Media Destruction

One of my most pain stricken real life writes ever.

Our lives are stuck to this screen,

Missing the parts of life that go unseen.

Living in a fantasy world of words,

Chatting away like chaotic birds.

Its really destroying the way we live,

The lack of love to our families and time to give.

An addiction of the mind,

A steady flow of a quick decline.

It's almost like a sickness,

Lurking around our minds, a pill that we don't miss.

This destruction is destroying lives,

Kids, friends and lonely wives.

What gives?

This is our era in how we live.

Check this out,

This is my next vacation, where i will be staying about.

Sharing this now,

Because someone could relate somehow.

We dwell on this fast pace time,

Just a click away, look, its so sublime.

We swim in this virtual lake,

Necks stuck downward that are about to break.

Time is leaving us,

This virtual world is really throwing us under the bus.

Time is lost, things don't ever get done,

Posting, updating, and tagging has begun.

What about time with a loved one with the screen shut down,

Ulimately we leave these sites with a frown.

It's really destroying peoples minds,

Putting them further in depression and more in a bind.

I can honestly say,

My addiction to this is more than 100 times a day.

I can't get away from this lure,

But i don't know how to find a cure.

This is my life's baby sitter,

Like i gave up on happiness and became a quitter.

I can't put it down, i have to look more,

Like OCD, continually checking a door.

I'm sucked in like a vacuum,

My mind has sailed away like a witches broom.

I need my real life back instead of this fantasy,

Anyone else out there in the same boat as me?
