I Am Tempterd BY Creativity
It Can Be A Good And A Bad Thing
When I am thinking about our imagination and the unexpected
I realize how little I really know
For instance I have a pair of socks that are really warm
They are made well
White cotton and sewn really thick
They have a grey toe and bottom
When I first bought them it was wintertime
I wanted to get rid of all my other socks
I loved them so much
I waited and said that would be foolish
Use up the other socks until they wear out
I bought only one package
Each time I put on the other pairs of socks
I would say how cheap they are made
They slide in my work shoe
They are thinner
Poorer quality
Until summer hit
Then the socks I love so much
Are too hot
It feels like my feet are on fire
I can't wait to take them off
I don't want to ever see that pair again
How can my thoughts change so drastically
In just a short time
They are the same socks
Well creativity is the same way
I think of something and I dream of all the good
That can come from it
Then slowly I see the flip side
How it changes what we know
How we think
What we believe
Like computers and the internet
They make so many things possible
At a peck of a finger
You can connect with anyone around the world
You can know anything about everyone
What an amazing tool and invention
They can be used to hack into people private information
They can create a hostile environment for bullies
The world is changed for ever
is it a good or bad thing
It all depends how you use it
You can go on line and meet people if you are lonely
You can play endless about of games or learn so much knowledge
I am fascinated and curious every day
Then again there is the dark web
Where everything bad and awful is
Please stay away from this terrible place
I guess you can't have one without the other
When I began to write about how I am tempted by creativity
Then I realize how my temper changes because of it
I mixed both words together
My emotions will flair up because of my passion
Where the knowledge I seek is at my fingertips
Then again I still can't get there from here
I am missing something
I haven't learned enough
So back to the drawing board I go
Willing and ready to learn more
I look around me and ask my peers what do they think
Some have no opinion at all
I tell them about the power and love of one thought
They rather do anything but
So I continue my secret quest
To seek out what I am craving
At anytime I could stop
Then all my time that I put in my ideas would be lost
I can carry on and add to society
At the same time their is an evil side
That what I have created with only good intentions
Will be used for bad intentions
So do I continue..
Am I some how responsible for what people do with my ideas
Do I take an attitude
If I didn't think of it someone else would
Any words of advise or wisdom is much appreciated
I sometimes can't sleep
As I toss and turn and am up late nights because of it
On the fence
To continue what I believe to be wonderful
Then only to find out in the future how hurtful if may be
