Glad I don't understand technology and all the platforms out there that well. Very little is private anymore. Emilia : )

Sometimes too much is made know for the whole to see. Enjoyed reading this one. Sara

The title alone nearly says it all "Naked" and exposed ... yet unashamedly so. I'm guilty as well. Though I do think it is a great method to keeping up to date with friends and family that live far away from you ... it has it's share of problems too: inclusion, pulling you away from what's in front of you, putting on a face (mask) to boast oneself amidst others (and others, still, a tool of venting, a cry for help). There is the making of much longer poem here, Harry... good senryu.

It is sad that this has become the case - we are moving towards total cyber inclusion. Great Senryu Harry. Hugs and blessings

All tools were meant to provide for something good; unfortunately many are those who are not able to use them in a positive way. Your senryu could be a good opening for a meaningful discussion Harry. Regards // paul

Unfortunately for some it’s not only their words that are naked. I do agree there is a bit to much sharing and shaking going on. Well expressed Harry. ;0)

Hi Harry, I agree. I don't do social media, unless you count the soup. If that's the case, It's the only social media platform I'm apart of. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis

I agree with your poem, Harry. This is the only social media that I do. Hope you have a great night :)

Poetry Soup is as close as I come to social media, Harry. Friends take their phones with them everywhere because they're afraid to miss a tweet. And then there are some photos exchanged that do seem to bare all! Hugs, carolyn

The Bible tells us in the multitude of words there is confusion and every evil thing. How true. Good one Harry. The thing s most simply echoe whatever the ones in p[ower tell them to and never express their own mind for fear of being cast out of the "IN" party. God Bless, JB Good stuff here. .

Yes, indeed! They get lost into showmanship--baring all as you say, Harry.

Yes, well said Harry. To me it's a place where people 'like' without reading.

I have given up on social media. Mostly lies and when there is truth no action is taken. ~~
