Caught in the Eye of the Social Media Platstorm

Correct me if I am wrong

Maybe it is just a coincidence

But ever since the advent and rise

Of so called social media platforms

Arising to give anybody or anyone

A means to voice or express an opinion

Has it not resulted in

Instead of solving problems and differences

Lead rather to creating further more fresh

Conflict and division that wasn't or didn't

Seem to be there before in the first place

Due to people with much the same

Personality traits and similar points of view

And they seem to be rather than steeped

In good intentions and resolving tension

But the complete opposite escalating them

In fact insighting injecting inciting trolling

And when you see them in the flesh

You instantly get the feeling they are as they appear

Needy insecure self serving attention seekers

Who's only aim and wish in life

Is for someone to know who they are

And will stoop or go to any lengths possible

To solely be the center of attention

Because in reality and real actual life

They are sadly without or lacking

Any form of personality traits or characteristics

That would endear or attract them to others

Friendless irreverent and contemptuous

Kind of type of person who

If it wasn't for the likes of Facebook

And other social media platform to reply

There wouldn't be plenty of fish in the sea at all 

Left for them being able to rely on 

Catfishing baiting or hating upon

Hi Christopher how are you Meneer, your poetry as always raises a question to which one should answer, so yes you are absolutely right, attention seekers and media addicts - We are concerned about Anil Deo - DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH HIM, IF SO DO YOU KNOW IF HE is OK - HOPE YOU CAN GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK. Hope you are keeping well. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER. I am so sorry about my printing, but my computer is going into a tech. hospital hospital tomorrow, maybe AI will have THE ANSWER.

Nice poetic rant. If we're honest, social media sucks. Yet, here we are. Sigh
