John Conde Poet Rhyme

A follower is a Moniker

You say you got a lot of followers 
I'd say you got supporters 
Because a follower is just a moniker 
Unless they follow orders 
You say you got a lot of friends online 
And sharing makes you closer 
So you give them your attention like 
You care about their exposure
People treat popularity 
As the gift that keeps on givin
But once it gives you all it's got 
You'll want to remain hidden
Being talked about and having clouts
Is the greatest way of living 
Until your not allowed to talk it out
Or explain it in your kitchen 
So you lock it down till there's not a sound 
Or a way that they could listen
But when you talk its loud & what I'm talking about 
What you say won't remain privileged
I won't tell you who to listen to 
Or lecture like it's physics
So think it through your piece to move 
To better your position
What seems improved can be removed 
And mess with your condition
Complete cocoon to wings that move 
together like reflections
What seems to me may seem to you 
Way better through your lenses
So Can we agree on the things we view
Depends on our perceptions
If it's nice to me is ice to you
 I'll give you my refreshments
The kind of drinks that I'd assume 
You'd sip even if expecting
