Well, I was up a little late last night and you know what that means. Yep, I wrote another poem that is sure to speak to somebody out there in cyberspace. Enjoy and donât be afraid to pass it on:
Please lend me an ear all parents far and near and take a peek at what Iâve seen.
In a world full of truance and kids greatest influence is now radios and video screens.
But this notion shouldnât shock you, knock you or rock you, nor should it come as a surprise.
How the mediaâs prominence is asserting its dominance and controlling our kidâs minds and lives.
The biggest clear and present danger is not coming from strangers abroad with terrorist like Al-Qaida and ISIS,
Itâs the information being viewed and downloaded from Youtube on our kidâs electronic devices.
They retreat to bedrooms and online chat-rooms for private-time with their electronic friends,
This opens the door of their minds and much more for corruption that starts from within.
The things that they hear through their I-pods so clear soon will flow from their head to their heart.
And the things that they see on their phones and TVâs can deceive them and set them apart.
For ExampleâŚ
The songs now-a-days that the radio plays makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck,
With the words the artist say and the actions they display itâs no wonder many kids have no respect.
And you absentee fathers that donât even bother because you have more important things to do.
Donât worry my friends for the media will gladly step in and be that surrogate replacement for you.
Media comes in many shapes, sizes and colors and now access is in the palm of their hands.
But when access becomes excess they may fail at their best test which is âlifeâ and they wonât stand a chance.
This may be a bit harsh but I want to use my voice to put others on notice and act as a warning.
Now a change can be made but it may take several days, start now and donât wait till the morning.
So you fathers and mothers and big sisters and brothers take heed to my short little rhyme.
Influence can be fleeting with the media competing so stay involved because you canât get back the time.
Letâs stay relevant in our kidâs lives by staying involved and our influence just may last a lifetime. Letâs Make it GREAT!!!
