Brian Strand Poet Verse

Hashtags and Selfies

HASHTAGS AND SELFIES
This era of the ego,hashtags
and selfies..and me me me...
to the fore,impatience always
knocking on my door.
Instant this,instant that,self
congratulation,superficial self
expression..quickly,quickly..I've 
social media to explore.
Insecurity underlines my every
post, stamped for all to see.
Where Respect..Respect is craven
most..in this world of me..
My thoughts are running wild..Pity
pity me..I've never grown up..
I'm  immature... still just a child.

Listen to this and all my PS poetry recited onyoutube under my pen name ichthyschiro
