Who

Why are you so loud and proud? Why must you announce your intent Using Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Tik Tok to vent It is I who wish to say I simply don’t care Don’t care for this or that Don’t care for your tit for tat Don’t care where your mind is at If your skinny or fat If your honest or a rat I simply don’t have any time for that And even if I did I wouldn’t lift the lid On your boring bid To be unique An exclusive freak A flavor of the weak A digital clan of the meek It doesn’t matter what you put in your holes Or how you vote at the polls It’s all the same Of the powerfully lame Who luv to watch you play the game Of look at me and remember my name Truth is I care not For your thought I only care that your quiet In your trust That the masses Have you in their lust Because for me Your one big bust Not worth my click or swipe Not my like or subscribe Not worth my time To be in your digital tribe Your simply weak and loud Of nothing to be proud Just part of a lost crowd That took a knee and bowed To the lowest in vanity Who trades their sanity For a vacant hollow Of a follow A thumbs up A pretty star A worthless emoji A meaningless heart All designed To keep us apart A separation Of humanity lost from the start A comedic tragedy Of 15 mins of fame Empty and lame It’s not you I blame Just your addiction To the game Of trying to be less of the same Sorry But I won’t remember your name Eric (and sometimes not)
