UNSOCIAL MEDIA

UNSOCIAL MEDIA

 

Social media has become a necessary evil

Due to living in today’s society as a whole

It’s useful to receive helpful information but

The junk that’s written plays a different roll

Why do I need to know that you’re going to bed

Or what a great word you made playing a game

These examples are mild in comparison to some

Many say things that may put others to shame

We’ve progressed into an era of modern electronics

All types of phones and computers that communicate

Can’t they air their dirty laundry to just one person

Why do so many need to know what’s on another’s plate

Is social media a wrench in the devil’s tool box

Bible scripture says that it looks to be the case

Satan wants to replace the Lord so badly that

He’s willing to sacrifice the entire human race

Whereas God is about love for everything that He created

Abhorring perversions such as pride arrogance and greed

If you give yourself a little time to think about this scenario

I myself pick God’s path it’s the only one that I’ll ever need

I must admit that I’m somewhat guilty

I’d write about sports teams that I view

About the bad decisions that they  and

What they should do to correct them too

As I said I feel like I’m somewhat guilty

I also posted things about my poetry site

Like the number of countries or viewers

But I believed that what I did was all right

I was showing the world what God had done

To advance the purpose of my poetic ministry

His is the Glory deserving of Praise and Honor

I’m just a vessel who is blessed that God uses me           

My wife still uses social media but not for gossip etc.

She uses it to gain and pass on helpful information

As a woman and mother it’s like second nature to her to

Tell family and friends of her concerns and compassion

Since I decided to end my time on that type of network

She’ll posts the good that God is doing through my site

I guess it’s more about using the tools that God gave you

Knowing what the difference is between wrong and right

If we want to use social media as a tool to make a difference

Perhaps creating a site called “Faithbook” would do well

It’s an idea that the Lord asked me to consider  undertaking

What’s your opinion on whether or not the concept would sell

So much for my poetic rhetoric on unsocial media

Now please tell me if you agree or disagree and why

Tomorrow it will still be out there for you to discern

But since I no longer go there I won’t even have to try
