Where a series of
messages fly across
profiles inflated
in balloons of
hot air.
Where a model with doctored skin
sells better cells to cover your acne,
where people 'blackout' Tuesday
and appropriate taking a knee.
Where truth is a golden ticket, impossible to find,
where 'likes' replace juries, and we forget to #bekind.
Where stories are created at the push of a key,
replacing where dreams and drafting used to be.
Where a voice called Alexa can order, suggest and locate,
but also listen and through silent algorithms manipulate.
Where faceless Gemini can offer names for your new-born,
an ironic namesake, a duplicitous invader on your own front lawn.
And most of the time
those ongoing anonymous
messages simply
ghost

Accept tribute and insult
Because a flower to grow,
Takes both sun and rain.
We became angels on social media.
If it is in real life,
We just become a human being.
Be happy by taking picture
All for yourself or for nature,
A social slavery common nowadays.
Who forgot to give a taste of smile
Our eyes will cry a lot profusely
After reading social news mileage on media.

"How about it daddy,"
show me the way,
how you roll that paper,
you make it slay.
"How about it daddy,"
you smell so funny,
is that the reason,
you look so crummy?
"How about it daddy,"
you sleep all day,
you seem so grumpy,
I think you should pray.
"How about it daddy,"
Is it true what mommy say,
that you love smoking,
more than you love yahwey.

Crazy dreams cryptic holidays
Living floating above
It's a carpet or a rug
Living to forge forgetting to follow
But look in the streets
Love is still a companion
How do you find
Something you don't seek
Alice was a killer and as stoned as a pillar
I saw her I's right in the nav of her middle
Back with Jack
Follow the leaders but don't forget
To jump off the path
Where can we go
We all get 2 feet
Don't forget the influence er
Armed with a bat
Take it personal
Be the decision army
They say poets can be whiners
They say challenge doesn't turn panic into a disaster
There were bands I grew up with that I will cherish forever
But it was the love of nature
Always be the biggest thing to me
Never ask why
I is likened to asking someone to love you
I saw you in a basket full of dreams
They say don't do it
I say that's a good reason to
Forget to guard your heart
Make it a sport
Count the alpha-bet back to worlds
You own by rights
You are the only one
You still hit zero before once in a lifetime
Make it a habit
Change their opinion
Or at least
Follow the rabbit

I’m an influencer, ex TV
You’re bound to know if you see me
I married a singer, famous she was
But she ditched me, is that her loss?
I pronounce the truth covered in lies
There’s no subject I can’t sensationalise
I wave my arms claim to speak the truth
Rant and rave, like a movie spoof
I spread theories of conspiracy.
Talk about subjects, no interest to me
My ratings skyrocket, the blind tag along
I’m always right, you’re always wrong
I’m bland Jack, fountain of knowledge
I talk like an urchin, never been to college
But doesn’t matter, you hang on my words
I’ve had to scream blogs no better than turds
I’m famous around six million views
Followed by the unlit rams and ewes

In my point of view
Influencers don't need an office to rule
Indirectly out gathering crews
Get ready, stand-by...
Watch out for the toupee guy

He was the best influencer in the world and he knew it.
In the neighborhood he was a star, an Internet hit.
Unconditionally loved his family; watched them sleep.
Had his large arms in every situation, no matter how deep.
He found the Internet one night when the others went to bed.
Logged onto Snap Chat and Instagram, and took photo of his head.
By a quartet to four, he had a following of three hundred and two.
He had followers now, so he added a video of himself too.
Daily he sneaked into closets and threw on clothes galore.
He wore sweatshirts and helmets, and dresses and more.
The checks started coming in like out of thin air.
Before he knew it, Godzilla was a flipping millionaire!
He shared his money with his family. Two kids and a dad.
They had a wife and mom once, but she had gone bad.
She tried to come back when she found out about the money
But by then Dad and Godzilla each had a new honey.
