I Can Social Media Point

Just because I can Don't mean I should Or is any good Is of little use Or burdon of proof Leading to a headline breaking top story On the News at 10 But then again So aren't the indulgences Of what passes for news On the day to day All consuming want for gossip That prepositions truth is boring And the only thing worthy of reporting Is if another anonymous insignificant reality star Is planning a fake marriage Or pregnancy number 5 with spouse number 6 And the Facebook's clicks Or Twitter followers With lives so empty They read while driving Because nothing is more important Than sharing senselessness tat That if we readed back in the cold light of day Would make anyone have a good long rethink About the direction life has taken If this is how one is to spend time Rather join a convent or a cult At least they have a point Because to be both frank and blunt Wasting time being a sheepish runt On Social Media Is about as fulfilling As salad on an carnivorous diet Don't buy it Don't try it And just maybe it will go away And reality will forgive us and come back
