Facebook Friends

Why does one have one bazillion fb friends…
Many not even know their face or name.

People Like it--Share it--but did they
Open the link or watch the video—first…
It may have not been what it seemed.
Everything on the internet is not real,
Be very careful what you believe.
People air their dirty laundry.
Pull their shirts up and pushing paints down 
Thinking they are hot and need to show off.
Bathroom selfies are ugly even if you are hot stuff.

Remember the saying get a room…
Take all the mushy stuff off your wall and close the door.
Then there are the post about how great some girl’s man is.			
Looks like a copy and paste—from last month’s Great Man…
Maybe he was not so great after all. Wonder how long the next one will last.

Do you ever go back and look at your posts.
Do you even care if you look like a joke.

FaceBook is not so fun anymore.
I have reduce my use--I am down to 28 friends.
And I know each one of them by name 
And something about them.

People get offended, just plain bent out of shape.
How dare you unfriend them--
This seems to mean you are mad at them…Really…
Hard to be mad at people you never speak to.
If I were mad at U--you would know.

Family or not I don’t care--I have had enough.
Most are too busy for a real visit anyhow.
You know the kind—
Where you actually sit in the same room without a screen.
Speak words out loud and listen with your hearts. 

I do not want everything in life to all happen
In a Click--On a Like--or With a Share…
Time to move on---Facebook is just dead air.
