Listen to poem:

You made the right choice Sign right here, be a pal, oh.. One more thing can I ask? Though I know I seem shallow.. Could you just click a like? Or a heart, that would do I don't wish to impose, but It makes our friendship SO true Then I'll visit as well Send our numbers to maximal I do love you and this is In no way transactional You can stroke me and hug me With your words affirmational My reply will be Shakespearean Or at least dissertational When we're done with our tags Or the half dozen kisses With the hearts and the stars Loaded high with best wishes We can sleep safe and sound As with nuclear fission There's nothing to fear From our popularity mission xxxxxx

The title of the poem got my attention, and it is true that we want someone to pick our work to read and appreciate the work that went into it. Thanks for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Attention and acceptance are already strong forces, now being monopolised by social media to feed us what we want to hear. Awareness is the greatest defence we have.. thanks for calling by Sara :)

Ah one reason why i seem a bit distant from insta, cus i see too many “ pick me “ people there, fame hungry. Unfortunately thats the reality in many places not just the younger generation but it seems like the new in thing. And youv as again conveyed your thoughts on that in a sassy manner! Very well written in a poetic way. I especially love “ My reply will be Shakespearean Or at least dissertational“ that has a fun tone to it too hahx clever! Loved this! A new fave for me this is.

I must indeed be getting 'sassy' in my old-age.. or perhaps my near- death experience (man-flu) has snapped me out of a malaise. Love hearing your comments as always, Ink. Blessings! :))

a powerful and insightful poem about social media. So many are caught up in the 'popularity mission,' not realizing that virtual 'friends' are not always real as are the 'likes' and 'hearts.' You said it masterfully. Enjoyed the read, Sara

I think we are all victims here Sara, but the time-bomb is with the new generation(s) who have known no better and their attention is being stolen. We won't be here to explain there was a different way of human interaction and it worked. Thanks for your comment, blessings x
