POEM: "INTERNET ADDICTION"

A Poem by mjameswrites

Internet Addiction

It has become so obvious to me,
It's as clear as day that I can see,
You've got an internet addiction!
You've succumbed to this affliction.
Into its web you've been trapped,
Tightly wound in its grip, the Net has you wrapped.

 

It used to be that you would go,
Online just once, maybe twice or so.
Connections that had begun periodically,
Suddenly increased more frequently.
You had become hooked by its deceptive bait,
Which now determines your imminent fate.

 

Occasionally you would check the news,
Observe the stocks and other people's views;
Now you've gone beyond the norm,
Dating and porn sites are now your platform.
It's encroached upon your social life,
And have led to lust, deceit and strife.

 

It's a habit that can quickly spiritually corrupt,
And one which can leave you emotionally bankrupt.
That is apparently how addictions begin,
A subtle temptation leading to a lifestyle of sin.
It's a force that's dynamic, though temporarily fun,
Which can only be broken by faith in God's Son.

I stand guilty as charged, although I think I haven't gone off the deep end yet. Like the microwave oven, I've come to rely on the internet for so many things, it's true. But hey, aren't we using it right now in a friendly exchange of ideas? Perhaps it's a bit like fire, eh? A very well constructed poem, Michelle.

Now, this is the part I'm really curious about! Who am I really? I mean, when it comes down to it, even my family and friends still scratch their heads and just haven't a clue. And me? Well, I don't e.. more..
