Friends With / Without Faces and odd little names

It speaks straight to our hearts... the Internet generation!!!

We sit and we type,
And we stare at our screens,
We all have to wonder,
What this possibly means.

With our mouse's we roam,
Through the rooms in a maze,
Looking for something or someone,
As we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other,
We type all our woes,
Small groups we do form,
And gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody,
To type out our name,
We want recognition,
But it's always the same.

We give kisses and hugs,
And sometimes we flirt,
In MIRC we chat deeply,
And reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships
But why we don't know,
But some of these friendships,
Will flourish and grow.

Why it is on the screen,
We can be so bold,
Telling our secrets,
That have never been told.

Why is it we share,
The thoughts in our mind,
With those we can't see,
As though we were blind.

The answer is simple,
It's as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems,
And need someone to tell.

We can't tell "real" people,
But tell someone we must,
So we turn on the computer,
And to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy,
The truth still remains,
They are Friends Without Faces,
and odd little names.

I've received this wonderful stuff on a e-mail forward by my friend Manu N. Should you know the author of this, please email, or leave a comment, so the person may be acknowledged here...

very nice... and true.. have u ever observed that we open up more while we talking on the phone.. rather than wen we are face to face wid some one.. Its the same logic that works here.. also, the fact that the person is blind to the real u.. and has no preconcieved notions about you.. adds up to the comfort factor!
