Take your stand / social media

Rocking 6 inch platforms 
You stand as you take your stand 
Up on this platform you erected 
To discuss your disgust 
Perform your reform 
For your faithful audience. 
Conference when you confess 
Your media awaits - 
Your claim of social discourse 
Soon you'll realise there's nothing 
Social about social media 
Your audience laments at your 
Attempts so audaciously shocking 
As displayed by the media via 
The medium you employ 
Little do they all know it's a ploy 
To deploy deplorable thoughts 
So their feelings can implode 
As your feelings you impose. 
Surrounded by your bullshit 
Engulfed by your self-worth 
Your audience encourages 
Your lack of individuality 
A copy of a photocopy of a scan 
Your JPEG is a still image - frozen 
In time yet your mind believes 
Yesterday is today and tomorrow 
Is always another day, a new dawn 
Your fawn gains no fans, 
You frown at the lack of empathy 
For your pathetic self promotion. 
One step forward, 5 back toward 
The foreword that spells the end 
In the end an ear who will lend 
Defend your deafening key strokes 
Who will to your sermons about 
Serpents and their lies while you
Lie through stroked keys and reposts 
For likes and comments that lack 
Common sense but spell nonsense 
Your audience awaits your updates!
