Online Opium

I was looking at my life online.
Sure, looks like I’m having a great time.
My world filled with smiling faces;
Look at all the wonderful places.
But listen to me folks, here’s the deal;
Only part of what you see is real.
Just like too much whisky, wine, or weed;
Online excess to dark places leads.
The online world by design deceives,
Confusing what’s real with make believe.
Internet an addictive medium;
Don’t get hooked on online opium.
