For Better or For Worse

I had a dream the other night.
My mother came, a vision bright.
Her love I once again did feel.
This dream did seem so very real.

As this and that we did discuss,
She asked, “Is technology a plus?
When families are together,
Do they talk about the weather?

Even then they use their smart phone.
All information there is shone
.Some are checking up on Facebook.
At each other they seldom look.

A phone is often at their ear.
They have contacts far and near.
Do the internet and TV
Enhance their sociability?

When the next morning I awoke.
I thought about the truth she spoke.
When you abandon what is real,
Does this less lonely make you feel?

Should playing Angry Birds replace
The songs of real birds, any case?
Also, children are missing out,
Playing outside with joyful shout.

What about creativity?
What is the best activity?
Technology is here to stay.
Temperance has a lot to say.

Unplugging completely won’t work.
Along with the bad, good doth lurk.
Cutting down some may be good.
Consider this option, you should.

Knowledge overload is there to see.
Without wisdom, it’s futility.
To fear God and on Him rely,
Is the best, now and by and by.
