Networking, A Drug? Poem by Kishore Kumar Das
Networking, A Drug?
Internet is flooded
with myriad sites
of social networking
If you don't join
you are myopic:
If you join
then vulnerable to redundant stress
time immemorial
there exists
attraction between opposite sexes
unless your post is vetted
by the opposite sex
you don't feel contented
and the problem starts;
you aspire for her recognition
she withholds it...
the silent competition brews...
you suffer from obsession
and vice versa
who doesn't want to be popular?
in the craze for popularity
you waste your valuable time
and sacrosanct energy
wait for others' praise
the orgy continues...
also when you appreciate
you want the author's attention
its only an exchange of words:
word is just a word
born yesterday
may lose its charm today
and word can't be equated
to an unseen human being
then why addiction to networking....
why beget sedentary life style
why block your personality traits...
that can make you dumb?

Excellent call to action.... however, I would miss words of wisdom like these if I get off the internet.... I am in a quandary... do I stay or do I go? ? ? Methinks I will stay but cut down the time and go for a walk among the trees by the river
You are already intelligent to overcome the passion of addiction....
