Poem
What can I caption that you have not seen or heard? In the era we are the herd, Followed, unfollowed, and blurred. Swiping unsure of who we are or were. Where a tick that is blue Only turns us blue With envy and sorrow While our mental health sees no tomorrow Only instant grams of falsehoods and scams, Where we wear a filter but have no filter. Where hate only grows, and love seldom shows— Yet in an instant reel, we waste another minute. To conceal our pain, we swipe again, While we go insane For likes filled with disdain! And yet we swipe again, Left and right, With no end in sight. But a voice inside says, "Set the phonies aside" And stand beside Your best friend, Pride; And unfriend the “friend” That knows your name But not your pain, Online For a matter of gain, Sharing endlessly in vain For an instant claim To fame. Set the device aside, Reconnect with your pride. If you’re in it for the ride, Self-esteem is the prize.
