Social Networking: The Preface 3.0

Written By Glenn McCrary & Jacqueline Webb

Surprisingly, with the sweet comes the sour
And there were consequences----
Being plugged in did not make you immune to folly;
Trusting strangers (nicknamed “friends”) is hardly wise.

Users soon became the used:

Social media was the internet’s Hindenburg,
Where hidden jackals preyed on the unsuspecting,
Using their online personas to trick the lonely
To gain trust as well as affection-----
If only to covet thy neighbors goods.

Such cruelty ran rampant----
Almost unstoppable----
Leaving behind countless victims.

Cyber bullying,
Sexual harassment,
Death threats,
Counterfeit personalities,
Stalkers,
Sex offenders,
These sins and sinners painted Facebook red;
Left Myspace riddled with bullet holes----
Ruining the entire social networking experience forever.
