Internet Insanity!

 I visited my cousins in Russia

One summer vacation day,

And my conclusions during my stay

Turned out to be more than I could say.

*

What happened?

*

Older cousin surfs on laptop

Younger did that and ipod games too

Sister sticks to ginormous ipad

I skim online webs in hullabaloo!

*

What’s happening?!

*

Day after day, hour after hour

We’re caught in the web of an artificial world

Eyes glued, time rued

Doesn’t it set your mind a-swirl’d?

*

What will happen?

*

Is this insanity or what?

Are we not caught in such a state?

The real world

Vanished and vanquished at such a rate?

*

But…

*

Am I wrong?

Is the Internet what we really need?

Our modern world needs one

To play, work, surf and read.

*

However…

*

I’d recommend the web

But not too much!

Elsa your eyes will fall out

From lethargy and such!

*

So

*

When I’m bored

I’m online

Though reconsidering a day in the outside sun

Is also quite fine.
