Facebook Drain

Facebook Facebook, penetrates my brain.
Facebook Facebook, filling me with pain.
Facebook Facebook, I look at it again and again and again.

Filing me with fear
Filling me with cheer
Filling me with dread 
And Filling me with tear

Facebook Facebook
I cannot put you down.
Facebook Facebook
To you I am but bound.

What are all my friends face booking today?
Are you looking selfie good?
Have you made an scrumptious pud?
Have you been out?
Or are you staying in?
Oh the excitement
I cannot begin....

You're positive
You're negative
Oh there's my friend in the hilarious wig
Oh there's my fam
I must like that
Oh that's messed up
Not sure
Will pass
I love you
I hate you
Don't make me grate you
You're part of me now
I just don't know how
To let you go
But I must
Take a bow.......

Do you have a Shoreditch beard?
Are you kooky or just plain weird?
Are you trendy?
Are you cute?
A big, bad and bigoted brute? 
Either way 
I have to know 
I have to see
This Facebook feeling
Keeps on calling me
Do you post?
Do you share?
Do you snoop?
A life to bare?

What is everyone doing today?
I think it's time to step away....

Have you been videoing a really cool moment?
Have you been dissing your football opponent?
Do you love?
Or do you hate?
Do you attack?
Or do you create?
Are you funny?
Or are you Crass?
Witty?
Pretty?
My bestest bestest mate?

Facebook Facebook
Running through my brain!
Oh no I've only gone and looked at it again.
An addiction?
A fiction?
A true depiction?
A distraction?
A reaction?
A reactive group action?

Facebook Facebook
I really to sleep.
Damn!
Just one more peep.....

That's one reason why I don't use Facebook, Anna. I prefer being little old me. Great first submission from you. Welcome to Poetry Soup. Viv x
