Some may well do just that

Living life locked in a vat ...

If you do, and have no other

Then your life is smothered



Get out, get away from it all

Take classes ... go to school

Meet some real folks out there

Instead of just grasping at air



Folks on the Net limit selves

And get dusty on their shelves

Overlooking other needed chores

Becoming in the process - quite sore



So take some time away from the screen

Make other friends than those Net-beings

Open up your world to other expression

And balance "the Net" to learn new lessons



- Tristram
