I think this needs to be in the Christian Family Forum.
It's become quite a problem, esp for Christian families to see both young and old addicted to Facebook (which I call Fakebook). So many hours spent in trivial chitchat. And it's quite useless to try evangelizing on FB, because nobody really bothers about Christ or the Bible or salvation. It's all about satisfy, gratify...'me, Me, ME'!
I spent some years on FB, thinking I could share Christ with people there. But it was a mirage, a delusion, a nightmare. People who appeared to be interested for some time, suddenly switched off, lost interest and went back to their old way. I think it's the medium; it's so transient, ephemeral, even fickle. People are just 'killing time' on FB - and spiritually killing themselves.
So this is a warning to Christian Families. Don't get involved in FB as parents, and if you see your children getting into that pernicious site, try diverting them into more active and useful pastimes and sports. But don't ever, don't ever allow them to get addicted to FB. It kills the spirit! Honestly!
So here's my take on FB; it's called 'Goodbye, Fakebook!'
GOODBYE FAKEBOOK!
Suppose all Facebook accounts were hacked.
(Those on Fakebook are hacks anyway)
That will be the day!
It would be a huge mess.
You wouldn't know who's who, I guess.
Well, there's no point guessing;
Facebook activity is just a bunch of lies.
I wouldn't be surprised.
We all think we are writing something meaningful in our posts,
And putting up something relevant through audios and pics,
But frankly, all my Facebook friends are ghosts.
For a moment it appears that I'm talking to someone real out there.
But I find after a few months he's disappeared into thin air.
(I said Fakebook is full of hacks, but some are hicks.) *
There are lots of dull old people pretending to be young and having
lively chats;
But when I see some boring grandma grieving over her dead cat, or sick parrot or bloated fish
(This is worse than cultivating bad bacteria in a petri dish!)
I think it's time Facebook shut down!
Being too much on Facebook can turn sane men into plain clowns.
Don't you think Fakebook should just 'fly away'?
That will be the day!
O happy day, when Facebook flies away
And all its victims tied to laptop screens and mobile cells
Can go out to breathe fresh air and play
(Get some sunshine into their souls)
Instead of being trapped as sick emaciated prisoners in a Facebook hell.
Yes, let every Facebook account go bust
(As one day they must!) .
Many will weep and cry
(Signs of mental debility) ,
And others will groan and sigh.
But surely Fakebook must die
And be interred in a huge Facebook Archive
If you and I want to remain alive.
hicks: country bumpkins
hacks: mediocre persons
