Discretion : Not For Public Consumption

It's a public forum,
you should be discreet
and not divulge everything 
to strangers you meet.

Some things should be 
left to imagination
and not detailed
for the entire nation.

Your feelings are hurt,
you feel betrayed.
Too late you regret
the comments you made.

Think before posting 
is my advice to you.
Once it's on the internet
your secrets are through.
