Not the real world

In the real world we can push others away

But on the air waves we're all free to play

Some talk of privacy and their living room

But a fence around the air waves isn't coming soon

The faces out in space may never change

But a screen name we can all re arrange

We push people away or call them a troll

When what they say or do we can't control

Then we try the threaten someone else in their life

Maybe a Mother, Sister or wife

Does that mean dirty tactics we now need to use

While preaching that others we shouldn't abuse

In life there will be many people and things we don't want to hear

But not always will we be able to simply stand clear

Instead it's thick skin that we really need

Or just not to click on things we don't want to read

Equal believe that we surely all are

If your above everyone it's not all that far

If there is something you don't like in print

Take it to the author where it was meant

If by chance these words hit a nerve

It maybe it's something that you deserve

As our internet family slowly slips  away

" It's someone else's fault. " Can we really say?
