Social Media Obsession
This monster who doth eat our time
Cares not if it’s yours or mine.
A perfect life you’re tempted with,
That at least we can forgive.
The people look and stare in haste
But think of all the time they waste,
To seek a ‘like’ or ‘emoji’,
It’s sad, I’m sure you will agree.
Children who no longer read
Seek this habit thus to feed.
It takes their life as well as soul,
Surely that’s the monster’s goal.
No longer do we talk at lunch,
It might be me, it’s just a hunch
But tablets, mobiles or laptops
Are why the chatter always stops.
It matters not the poisoned choice
To which you cheerfully rejoice.
The monster feeds on sacrifice,
He never even thinks it twice!
Mankind may well be swept aside
As technology will soon decide,
The fate of all our children’s lives,
We should not let this monster thrive!
