Poetic Podcast Episode 24 Bop

Pictures of babies and license plates,
are you asking a criminal to find you? 
The internet is NOT benevolent.
It’s phony as hell, you better believe it;
Keep your life out of reach and private.
A cheer or criticism, neither are needed;

Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty;

With each detail you make public 
you put your life at unimaginable risk;
People will follow you stalking your life,
until they scrape enough to create a copy;
Is it you? Is it not? It doesn’t really matter.
Identity theft only needs your numbers;
Suddenly there are two of you twinning, 
but one is just a parasite you’re feeding;

Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty;

Mind your manners remain chaste,
some things really should stay closed;
Stop flaunting what matters so carelessly!
Better think twice or become a victim ;
Sudden chill down your spine in real life,
That irreparable damage was preventable; 

Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty.
