Internet Street

Written on July 13, 2012 Gail's Note: In this poem, "generation" refers to a group of individuals belonging to a specific category at the same time. This is not necessarily age-related. It's the "mouth" generation And anything goes. Don't worry about feelings Or "stepping on toes." And if people think differently That's not your prob Even if its your words That are making them sob. So much for "pc" or for being discreet. "All" is out in the open. "All" is out on the Internet Street. Come on - shame has no place In a world so techno. We are racing through web-space. To do otherwise would be retro. Solid values are not keeping up With the speed of the web. They are evolving or left behind, And some good ones seem dead. People are people. Let's not forget That the essence of who we are No matter how we communicate Shouldn't be dis-respect.
