Social Media Man

Just an over-educated bluegrass punk Getting high on urbanised skunk Gaultier suits by the score Optimises this decadent whore. Philosophising about modern art Dadaism, creationism, where did it start You are the police of the police. Romanticising about Shelley, Byron, Keats. Indifferent to world affairs Indifferent to other people's cares Just a contemporary Don Juan With fake appeal and faker tan. You imagine their sympathetic view Coinciding with your imaginary you Exalted ego in expensive channel A fancy dress for a personality hell. 30,000 on your Facebook friends Gives a popularity pretense Look in the mirror and what do you see A social media obsessed catastrophe.
