Friend Ships

Friend Friends Everywhere
5000 friends and not a drop of care. 
It's like being stranded in the middle of the ocean with no water to digest- 

Remember "Water Water everywhere - 
pEOPLE pEOPLE Everywhere
I ADMIRE YOUR ATTIRE
Behind that profile pic.
NOT TOO BLIND TO see someone
DRINK
DROPS OF BLOOD.
FROM YOUR PRICKED FINGER.
Clean bill of health.

Can’t taste that yummy meal you display
or believe that imagery 
Humans make oceans of people

Stranded yet watchful
Ears, eyes of little use;
NOSE of no use
when sailing in friendships
A SEA OF FRIENDS
“who is really who”
Stranded on Facebook island 
I watch
With discernment
Salty people
Unknown to the nose
Can’t smell you, to tell if you.’
oh well...
Discernment is the spirit I use:
Oceans and seas of salty 
Facebook friends
And not a drop to drink.
