On the Island of Friendship
On the island of friendship,
Luscious fruits and fragrant flowers grow.
Enemies, we hope, are not allowed.
Yet viciuosness sneaks in, so tawdry and shallow.
Be very careful of those you trust,
Any friendship.,may be most hollow!
With anyone, there is no guarantee,
That one day, they will turn their back on thee!
Especially, is this true online.
Where we believe all is a giant truth-zine?
Don’t be so naive with your good heart!
Some might harm you, with their words as poison darts.
No way in person would anyone be so obnoxious!!
But online~ some of us know the vebiage is vicious and toxic.
After twenty five years, being on-line.
The meaness has not toned down but is more crude and unrefined.
No wonder their hateful words are accepted as true!
Using “so called” fact-finders spinning political, hateful stew.
Humility seems to have totally disappeared.
Replaced by lies and innuendos.
Lord, help us to forgive but never forget,human feelings are not to forfeit.
Pray your Guardian Angel keep you from online harm.
Away from the mean of heart, smiling, who fly about in
large swarms.
