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.
