INTERNET

today's students come to school
with computers
some schools provide them
today's kids some are advance
some think their smarter 
than their peers
a computer doesn't make you brighter
it just gets you to the answer faster
and don't turn to any drug
it will only lead you to depression
and don't turn to alcohol
it will only lead you to memory loss

yes us older folks
had to learn by the books
no. 2 pencils pee chee folders
with graffiti of our own personal art
we attended Sunday school
never forget whose really in charge
never was to proud
when we had to hit our knees and pray

the internet
should have certain sites
to sign in with a valid driver's license
nothing should be so easy to enter
by a push of a innocent finger
too much bullying & way to many young suicides
children don't need to grow up so fast

there's a GOD who wants us all to slow down
take a good look around you
learn from your elders
don't ignore the people who brought you here
don't just think of yourself
don't think your way of life
hasn't been lived out by someone you know
experience is in the Hand of the One who created it
