Technology: A Blessing or A Curse?

Amazing magical technology
A blessing or a curse?
It could certainly be much better,
it could always be much worse
Ancient Dinosaur that I am
Fears in me abound
Of Tweeting, Skyping and Zooming
It all knocks me to the ground!
Magical mystical techno-spells
Cast by a 12 year old social media star
Or posting your morning breakfast!
Lordy just get me to the nearest bar!!
Abuses, good uses, therapy and more
A lifeline when times are bad
Connecting you to the people you adore
When life seems profoundly sad
For those with daily challenges
A life-saving miracle it can be
Yet evil can lurk within its core
Sometimes bullying you and me
It’s all about intention
Motivation and compassion
So use technology wisely
For it’s not going out of fashion
It’s here to stay every single day
And that’s just how it goes
Take long deep breathes and little by little
Confidence grows and grows
I think success has come my way
As Facebook warmly shows
But just one glitch does havoc wreak
When technology for me goes wrong
I quickly change from Jekyll to Hyde
And start singing a panic song
So sometimes technology’s a miracle of life
A rare and delicious fruit
But lord have mercy when crash it does
Re-boot! re-boot! re-boot!!!
