Hiding in Plain Site (Spelling Mistake Intentional)A Poem by Michael StevensA double-edged sword
Dawn breaks, and the internet is born. Such a convenient way to vent your ire and scorn.
Hiding in plain sight, it's the weak-kneed's electronic friend. an easy way to air the venom that you've penned.
On the internet, you're unseen, and unrestrained. Anyone can say anything, whether Einstein, or cow-brained.
No repercussions, you're free to libel and defame. The weak of heart become giant killers, with the same
platform as the strong--with the same electronic launching pad, safely hidden from retaliation, except with words--sad
in a way that even while it gives people a voice, it also is an avenue to make the wrong choice
and air something that there will be no taking back once it's said--it's a test for judgment that too many lack.
