Disconnected and Disowned

How many ‘Likes’ do you have, 
how many following “friends”?
How many empty conversations 
how many times do you  ‘check in’ ?
Walking by that nameless status
disconnected and disowned 
Send me a photo I’ve got a pic 
but not one you’d want mama to see;
Who cares what you have to say?
Send a body shot with the brain crossed out;
Control alt delete and disconnect;
What about a meme? 
That’s an easy way to think;
Just a little funny, not too deep;
Give it a share, take it viral 
How many ‘Likes’ do you have
disconnected from the truth? 
How many following “friends”
disowned from the real world?
