My Advice To the Youth

Move the phone from thy ear Now listen to your heart Hear real words said with eyes open While touching real life A text today can be deleted But words spoken are everlasting Take your fingers off the X box Then hold another heart See not the screen of deceit With colors and mans illusion But see what truly exist In this life of real participation NOT FOR CONTEST, I am to busy I am playing a game of war with the internet” You cannot touch me or see me, I have been hidden from real life! So take my advice, Place your ear upon man’s heart Leave your play toy's at home Then play the real game, of Life! Contest:My Advice to the Youth Sponsored By: Edward Ibeh Date Created: 12/20/2020

Great advice. The phone is an aid, a complement to the real thing. You've put your finger squarely on the problem!! G.L. in the contest, Bobby. Season's Cheer, Gershon
