The Social Network Prey

Social network stances a spider’s web today
Once trapped you are slaved for life all the way

Where you see a virtual world of “Likes” to display
Showcasing how life is better in each ones day

Where friends are just numbers and not people in real
Disremembering that life was once, precious as a pearl

Just like days of play where football and pool was so much fun
But pronto amid the “Social Network” all the games are dead and done

As children are glued to tablets and phones
Spoiling their lives before going to school

Coz technology has taken over the veracious of parents to say
The social network today has it’s own gateway

For no longer “I love you” is more then a say
As “Love” on the social network is a fashion to prey

Where friend’s comments can make or break your day
You are slaved to technology and it’s stupid ways

For some rich ass had made this network his own gateway
My friend you are slaved to the social network all the way

Where “Likes” are part of what others say
In the end we all fall to this quadruped and become it’s “Play”
