Torturous Technology
Hidden cameras you don't see Creeps that watch you on T.V. I-Pods taking photographs Put on twitter for a laugh Video streaming on you tube Of teens being very crude Facebook postings not so nice Innocent people pay the price Of all this technology Being used for cruelty Instead of making people smile It is used for being vile Cyber bullyings a way To show hatred every day Pushing...

This Torturous Life
THIS TORTUROUS LIFE Is this life make-believe? I cope not with the life struggles that beset me For they are hell-bent on wrecking me Forever seeking me out They harangue most grievously Damaging me irrevocably No one it seems can rescue me A wretched existence And a noose is this life to me All I know is woe...
