The Social Media Generation

The social media generation that lives in cyber space, so needy for notifications so they don't feel misplaced, make up a world of brave faces sitting behind screens, seeking self validation so that their face gleams. Social interactions fall victim to distractions, as when that phone beeps it gets a reaction. Immediately they read and they write a reply, that phone always held up in front of the eyes. That goodness gracious Facebook status, telling the world what you ate for breakfast, and two hours later it's got fifty thumbs, but you don't know forty as they're not your chums. The friends that you met just one time in a club, they really don't know you but like all you put up, and the many selfies that turn out unsightly, before the one you post thinking, "I hope they like me". This like for like game played by the lame, these people don't know you you are just a name, when they see you in public you don't look the same, 'cus you photoshop pictures and don't look how you claim. This false is a force supplying mental litter, it fills up their world with rainbows and glitter, but when I look at Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, I think to myself there really is nothing sh**ter.
