Completely Connected

More information
less interaction
with that right in front of you.

Sat down for a moment
looked up after a minute
I seem to have lost more
than an hour or two.

Interrupted service
Lost connection
prompts questions of
Now what do I do?

Do you make life simpler
or more complicated?
Are we getting smarter or
merely sedated?

Laptop, tablet
desktop, phone
Completely connected
but still quite alone.

Window to the World

This window to the world

a genie no longer in a bottle

Does it do more harm than good?

Did you mean it sarcastically?

Did you say it with contempt?

Did you make a joke for me

or was it of me?

This window to the world

Allows one to forget or
remember, stalk or be voyeur 

to the neighbor next door,

the friends right down the street,
strangers in a foreign land or

The day to day people you can meet.

  

This window to the world's produced

New terminology for old demonology

Cyber bully, Troll, Online evil.
If you can't say something nice then
post it unedited for the world to see.
Go ahead it's easy based on many
comments that you see.

This window to the world lets you
Bake a better cookie

Set a nicer table

Fix your computing device

when once you were not able.

This window to the world lets you
Laugh at kitty cats
Ah at the puppy dog
See the bouncing baby
girls and boys.


This window to the world lets you

 Make plans

Greet fans

Buy tickets to far off lands

All this and more

 your fingertips explore

This window to the world

a genie no longer in a bottle
Are we using it as we should?

Does it do more harm than good?

What We Have To Do

It's up to me

It's up to you

It's up to us

to do what

we have to do

to create

the change

we want to see

To save the world

embrace prosperity

Teach the young

listen to the old

Reinvent a way

to be quite bold

It's up to me

It's up to you

It's up to us

to do what

we have to do

to stop the deranged

To fix the strange

relationship

we have with the earth

To learn its value

to learn its worth

to truly

strive for

Peace On Earth

It's up to me

It's up to you

It's up to us

to do what

we have to do

vanquish the violence

Give up the silence

Speak out

Reach out

Sing out loud

Don't be just

a face in the crowd

Share your vision

stand tall

and proud

It's up to me

It's up to you

It's up to us

to do what

we have to do
