The internet
is a crazy place.
Countless individuals
all over the globe,
men and women,
boys and girls,
from 15 to 55,
all brought together
in the same space.
Cyber space.
Here, we are all one
even as we are alone.
As we gaze into
the depths of
our screens,
we are all
looking
at the same
monument.
The monument
of ultimate
information.
It is infinite
in facets,
sideless,
and still
with all sides.
Imagine the internet
if it were tangible.
I imagine a sphere
with a surface
of gleaming spiderwebs.
All is shared,
nothing is sacred.
All is connected,
and every one
is separate.
It is a land
of contradiction.
Or if I may,
(in the spirit
of songmeanings,)
A Land of Confusion.
But I love it.
You gotta love it.
I love it because
I am part of it
without being
who I am.
I am not my face,
I am not even myself,
I am my words.
I am only what I
choose to say.
I am not my person,
but my person-ality.
And that is
a beautiful thing.
You could even say
an ideal world.
We are each blind,
deaf, and dumb,
when we are online.
All we have,
all we are,
is what we decide
to submit of our minds.
It is a strange
and unique world,
this place we call
the internet.
Truly brings out
the best and worst
of us all.
How shall we use
this almighty tool?
Let us use it for
communication and aid.
Let us send love
and encouragement
through the wires
to whosoever may require
a small pick me up.
Let us not fight,
but find and figure.
Then submit only wellness.
Offer only positivity.
Talk about an ideal world.
At least, let me use it
for inspiration.
For what else can you do
for someone else
but inspire them?
