Sweeter Than Honey

Like a robot I have followed,

Re-posted and commented,

Staring at my screen,

Like I’ve become demented.

I’ve sprinted with the crowd,

Brain-washed and devout.

Hooked to the online world,

As if I cannot live without.

Now I’m sick of Facebook,

All those phony posts.

Sick of silly quizzes,

All those brags and boasts.

Now I’m sick of Pinterest.

How much pinning does one need?

And if you pin something,

Is it ever on the feed?

I am sick of LinkedIn,

Trying to look clever.

Do you ever get head-hunted…

For the skills you listed? Never!

Sick of Instagram selfies,

Bunny ears, kitten noses,

Bored people who spend time,

Snapping sultry poses.

Sick of Twitter-ing people,

With nothing much to say.

Does it add any quality

To my God-given day?

Too many opinions

I don’t want to hear,

Comments filling my head,

Each time I go near.

I’m sick of pressing ‘SEND’

Things have to get better.

I’m going back to the art

Of taking time to write a letter.

 

I’m going back to the art,

Of following God’s leading,

Goodbye social-media,

It’s the bible I am reading.

Beat Depression

“The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring and refreshing the soul.

The statues of the Lord are reliable and trustworthy, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart.

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.

“The judgements of the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes than much fine gold – sweeter also than honey.” (Psalm 19:9-10)
