Still being invited to play games online

Had to post 2 poems today, as I received yet another invite to play some new game or other.

#212a Still Playing Games

Are you still playing those games?

have you not discovered

that there is no point

also it has made you lamme

you no longer interact

you have become obsessed

I am not a psychiatrist

who is it you are trying to impress?

when you compete in a virtual world

you become a virtual boy

or worse a virtual girl

not able to function in real life

things passing you by

as your brain has been programmed

telling you what is right

what is important

is that you stack those sweets?

solve that crime

hit those birds

most importantly waste your time !

If only I could help

It is frustrating when you come accros someone you want to help, but you have no idea how you will be able to help.... If only there was something you could do, to make a difference

#212 Rescue

I want to rescue you

pick you up and keep you safe

my life is peaceful

your life is in turmoil

it is as if you have fallen from grace

don't know what I can do to help

how can I protect you?

let me know

there is nothing

I wouldn’t do

to see you smile

once more

return to the beautiful you

Let's just call it therapy

#212 You Walk Past ME

You walk past me like nothing happened

and because it was long ago

it really doesn’t matter

you walk past me like I was nothing

not realising I am the catalyst that can change all this

you have no regards for what you have done

the day is coming

when you will be the one on the run

time is drawing close

when all those you treasure

will be hurt the most

a life of lies and deceit

for things that happened

that we cannot repeat

we all have our judgement day

what can you do to make amends

I have no answers

for all your oh so loyal friends

your life will dissolve

there will be no redress

all those you have tried so hard to impress

will finally see you for what you are

when I chose to reveal my ugly scars

I have protected you for too long

I hold the power

I hold the key

finding it hard to quell this hate in me

Stop exposing your children to unwanted attention coz you so want to be 'LIKE'd'

I am tiered of friends and family and acquaintances posting pics of their ohh so adorable child, nephew, grandson or whatever.  Do you not realise this is just circulating your child's image to unsolicited views.  Where do these pictures end up? once they have been liked and shared to a group of people that you do not know.  Come on do you not see this.

I have never been one to ogle at babies in prams and coo in that oh so stupid voice reserved for a 'particular cute baby'.  face it they look cute coz they're small end of.  They all look much the same and at that stage not many of their features have come in anyhow.  Well I don't do it, it is annoying and most times it is disingenuous.

#211 I will not ‘LIKE’ your child

Why oh why is your child online?

there are pictures of mucky faces

pictures of child in cool places

pictures with a grin

pictures of every occasion

do you not read the papers?

online is where paedophiles

like to lime

they scan through school pictures

then hope and pray they see that child

so they can strike up a conversation

then it’s ‘do you want to go for a ride?’

then next minute they are on a news file

as we watch the parents pain

as we watch them cry

as they slowly lose their minds

do they not realise they gave their child on a plate

so next time you want to upload

think carefully

are you really that bold

that desperate for a ‘LIKE’

now I don’t do ‘ooh!’ and I don't do ‘ahhh!’

coz one child to me looks much the same

as long as they are healthy

don't care if they are wealthy

is it not your duty to keep them safe?

shouldn’t they get a chance to decide

when they go online

and have their face broadcast all over the place

My Enchanted life

I am embarking on a big venture, it is scary and exciting at the same time.  At every step of the way there has been masses of advise and good fortune.  From people I barely know.  It's wonderful.  I now have to decide who to listen to.  Do I just go along despite all this unsolicited advise or do I stop freeze and not go forward.

#210 Guidance From Within

I will listen to my inner voice

and what it has to say

some call it their conscious

either way it will make you rethink your day

all situations we find ourselves in

are predicted somewhere along the way

you just have to listen

to the people you meet

telling you part of the story

for you to complete

make sense of what they are saying

as it is never as you think

sometimes it is a dream

sometimes more straightforward

you just have to make the link

listen to that inner voice that says ‘don't go there!’

its not always obvious

I assure you

in time it will all be clear......

Speaking well of the dead

I never want to be that person who waits until someone has passed to start speaking well about them, or treating them nice

#206 big Talk

Big talk

after my passing

I do not want

say what you want to say

to my face

don't wait

till I  am gone

without a trace

furthermore

say nothing to me

say nothing of your feelings

show me by your actions

let it be apparent for all to see

let my heart be filled with your love

do not let me leave

until you are sure

I understand I am loved

evermore

Mornings don't really excite me

#207 Each Morning

Each morning

when I rise

I am grateful

that I am here

to see another day

I rise with anticipation

in awe of what the day may bring

I think of those who are not with us

reflect on what they may have done with this day

I hope I am not wasting my day

so I jump up

refusing to snooze any longer

I am grateful

for the opportunities

this day will bring

each morning

when I rise !
