Texts To Forget

"Has technology changed our attitude,
By silencing our platitudes 

When we go online,
Surfing the net with accounts to mine

So easy to be mean or criticize,
Hiding behind a name not recognized 

Feelings expressed,
You’d certainly regret

If face,
To face

The internet has changed the way we live, 
With every answer it can give

An amazing resource and tool,
Just don’t use it to look like a fool 

When frustration guides your fingers,
Hold the thought and let it linger

Letting your words cool off,
So there not received too hot

Pausing to rethink can save a friendship, 
For life is all about kinship

And the gratitude of friends,
That our happiness depends

So next time something’s not right,
Pick up the phone and settle the strife 

As a picture is a thousand words,
Let your voice be a soothing cure"
