When too much Cyberspace and Technology take over

Chronic Cyberspace

by Debi Pick Marquette



Some want to live in cyberspace

Without a face

No longer speak

And body's weak


When all you need are hands and brains

Your system strains

Your strength is gone

A life withdrawn


Don't live your whole life from a chair

Come up for air

So fight the fight

Or stand to write

I have seen young kids that don't come up for air, because they are too addicted to cyberspace. Statistics prove that it can cause obesity, weakened immune systems and nervous system and muscle damage. Not to mention loss of real life they miss out on.
