THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY

Rebecca Sedwick

What a time for communication,

Instant messaging, across the nation,

Across the world we send our words,

Even if they're quite absurd.

No matter if the truth is said,

We just push send, then scratch our head,

And wonder if we should have sent it,

And question if we really meant it.

The main thing is, it got there fast,

So we can't worry about the past,

That was so 5 seconds ago,

So, let it go, just let it go.

Could we look into their eyes,

Without electronic disguise,

And say the rude things to their face,

About their clothes, their looks, their race.

It's so easy to abuse, 

To start a fight, and feelings bruise,

When done out on the internet,

We don't even break a sweat.

A girl was only 12 years old,

She was bullied by those mean and cold,

She brought her own life to an end,

Because somebody just pushed send.
