A place where every creeps and ****** can find a friend,
built to provide information,
to connect the world.
Now it radicalizes:
lies dressed as truth,
misnomers fed like candy
to those who crave the fantastic.
It uncovers hidden fantasies.
It shows what should never be seen.
And it is left in the hands of the vulnerable.
We strip books from libraries
stories controlled, voices erased.
Yet the worst of all information
sits glowing in the hands of a child.
A tablet in their lap to keep them quiet,
they scroll through storms of misinformation,
content disturbing yet alluring,
crafted to capture and hold them.
Now you have lost control.
Our minds don’t rewind.
Once opened, they don’t close.
Unseeing is impossible.
But we are not powerless.
We can teach discernment.
We can guide curiosity.
We can guard wonder without surrendering it.
Choose conversation over silence.
Choose guidance over distraction.
Choose truth, not convenience.
Because the Internet will not raise your children~
but it will shape them,
if you leave them unguarded.
