Why Redemptive Rhymes

Hi guys,   Just wanted to repost this poem that is in my Social Media Musings two-book collection. You will find it in "Social I, Not" poem book. I have included the feelings I was having at the time of writing that is also included in the text of the book as in the Social Media Musings collection, instead of "thoughts" I included my feelings at the time of writing the poem. You may notice publication date of book is different than time of writing the poem.  Precious Time A piece here, a piece there One gives it away without a thought Never once to be thanked Time spent that could be elsewhere Rather admirable or careless It’s precious this thing given away Which some don’t appreciate When it leaves one in despair One needs to be thankful Time spent in one’s presence Put together the pieces remembering How precious the time when one was there ©Doris Elaine April 24, 2017 (Missing T.E. very badly - sent this poem to him)

    Hey Guys,  This poem reflects my opinion of Social Media at the time of writing. Boy was I angry, yet perplexed of my interaction on Social Media; it was a wake up and know call for me.    Social Technology: Love/Hate Affair   It can be good at times And your worst pastimes The connection it creates Determines and dictates This Love/Hate affair In becoming aware How it can ruin one’s life If we don’t declare That some use social technology As a tool for criminology For those times we are crushed And can create hate and mistrust It’s these life altering primes That makes it our worst pastimes However, the connection it creates Can also bridge a much-needed gate That can bless one’s life tons And create love and zest It’s these life changing primes That makes it our good times It’s a Love/Hate affair That’s yours if you dare! ©Doris Elaine     April 23, 2017 (Upset with the Social Media due no communication from T.E.)
