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!
