Liked one friend’s status,
shared another one’s pic;
posted a YouTube video,
then deleted it real quick;
commented the Comments
made by Friends of Friends;
ignored all moral postings
on which my take depends;
posted what I felt deeply,
about an issue I deplored;
checked all thru the day,
to find I’d been ignored;
sent a happy birthday wish,
to a friend I’ve never met;
spent long hours searching,
for people I should forget.
Hundreds of hours invested,
netted me next to no return.
How long will I deny myself,
before the lesson I do learn.
I prefer real human contact,
not to press on plastic keys;
the seeing, hearing, feeling,
of real friends, if you please.

For friends it’s always open.
