Poem Title:
Poem
(Part 2 - please see Part 1 first thank you) And those of us who feel just plain lost in today’s modern world Believe me you are not alone Might look at Dave’s life and think that it’s real, and legitimate When it’s just a fake deal – none of this has just fallen in ‘Dave’s’ lap Because he deserves it as he’s a ‘good lad’ But you don’t want to know this and it makes you feel even worse Accusing others of being jealous and defending this ‘Dave’ first So you massage your avatar in every way Thinking it will pave your way Save the day Keep you out of real life’s harming ways Because despite the visions of Human contact on the Facebook adds You never meet up with the lads, Go bowling or hang out in the park Because these days the world is just too dark It’s not safe and too expensive to go out and have a lark So you stay inside and become an online stud who gets lots of online muff Who enjoys an open relationship? But which in real life is just a lie Because right now you are sat in a room, full of gloom With your back to your wife Atmosphere so tense you could cut it with a knife As you massage your Facebook life And now you cannot make it more plain That she is just not good enough for the Facebook ‘you’ Who now believes he is a complete stud But she’s lives in reality and not on line Working hard, pays the bills, attends to the minutiae of real life While you, 36 and unemployed, pines And neither you, nor she, can ever measure up to the complete fantasy Of the world of your Facebook Land All Facebook has done is help you create a monster which has got out of hand And you never did have that conversation, in real life, with your wife That you have demoted her from your wife, to ‘f*ck buddy’ That’s just your online self massaging reality out of your life Why communicate with your wife – it’s safer (to your online life) To just cut her out – she’d never understand anyhow But somehow you stay with her every day Getting older, balder, and weaker as your life ebbs away Never leaving the house or doing anything with your day So what is the plan? Do you face real life and make one of your own Where you know where you are going and where you come from A life at which you could really look Why bother – there’s always Facebook.....
