Many Associates Yet Alone
Isn't it funny how you can be surrounded by many people but feel so alone
It appears you have a social life because you're always checking your phone
But could it be an addiction to living life through the photos of others
Feeling an overwhelming sense of joy when seeing emotions by lovers
People talk with you but

Social Media
Social media has transformed how people communicate and interact globally, fostering connectivity and collaboration~ Why is it we can’t honor, respect, or be kind without cruelty in the mix?—Poet
• increases the fear of missing out
• leads doubt and unhealthy comparisons
• creates unrealistic expectations
• causes isolation
• triggers dopamine addiction
• anxiety and low self-esteem
Don’t throw it all away~ Moderation is key!

Mirrorbreed
Mirror in the washroom, mirror in the hall,
who is the saddest, most tragic of all?
Me, me, me— our chant, our plea, our scroll.
We cry for heartbreak, curse what we recall,
mourn mood swings and childhood’s sprawl.
We share our feelings, raw and blatant,
talk as if we own sorrow’s patent.
An indulgent binge of trauma dumping
hailed as “growth,” with

Waiting for the call
Waiting for the call
Time is the coin of life
Spend it wisely
Who's to blame?
Now they know your game.
Ain't it strange
That we need to be framed.
We need to escape
To a house by the sea
To get away from the
The other you and me
To be free
It's easy to say
Not so easy to see
Waiting for the call

Social Media
Social media is a charade
A manic masquerade
Where charlatans peddle lies
And truth slowly dies
But you were led to the dance
And you thought you had a chance
So you either go ballistic
Or end up a statistic
Volatile times produce hostile rhymes
And television that glorifies crimes
We're taught to live shameless
And despite mistakes we're blameless
To them everything is a

Being A Social Media Influencer Nowadays
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

21st Century Emperor's
The emperors have no clothes on!
People are living in a trance
Psychologists like to call it cognitive dissonance
Perhaps even a carefully crafted chance
To see what isn't there, only to praise a hollow show,
While truth and reason disappear, common senses go.
It’s just simply a situation gone sad
I can’t help but wonder, have we been had or merely

Plastic Lives
It seems to me that plastic lives, are those that are portrayed,
By people whose lives are more than likely, wrongfully conveyed
Social media is good for nothing, except to zombify
People who sacrifice their lives, for the likes that they rely.
Nobody lives a perfect life, plastic lives seem wrong.
Life is far more challenging than the

Social Media Relations
In this digital world of perpetual pleasure,
Why must we purposely give each other pain,
Instead of easing our pressures,
We cause each other so much more strain,
Grabbing and tearing at the tattered fray,
Some bring upon darkness on the brightest days,
It's in our nature's or so that lies been told,
We waste

Bad ideas never die
Social Media influencers on the racist right
said us Jews control radio and TV
That we rot the roots of morality’s tree,
The implication is clear; there’s no society free.
One TV personality invited a guy
who spouted reasons for Hitler's views
As the real deal, I wonder why
So much dumping on the Jews
They talk of the 'noticing' -

Social Media
Constantly seeking out validation,
You don’t have to know me,
But I wanna be your favourite.
I want you to like me so much, I hate it.
Share posts or tap to follow,
Get blocked and deleted, such a hard pill to swallow,
The lives are so full but inside they are hollow,
Love it and like it and give it a

Facebookville
My muse provides me nothing with which I can get to work
And so I spent an hour on Facebook… boy, am I a jerk
A pointless waste of time and space and lots of stuff, all fake
I should just paint a wall and watch it dry, for goodness sake
There’s videos in Facebookville where you watch things

Don't!
Don’t!
Don’t put your thoughts on paper
Don’t dare to think out loud
Don’t express on social media
Don’t put them up in cloud
Don’t criticize the useless
Don’t voice a point of view
Don’t flex your vocal cord
Don’t think you’re immune
Six burly officers are coming
Because of something you said
They crash the door early morning
And they’ll tear you from your bed
They’ll whisk

Entangled in the Digital Web: The Modern Trap
In a realm once pure, where stories were shared,
A new world arrived, yet no one was prepared.
Young hands that once worked with skill and grace
Now swipe on screens, lost in the race.
They dream of fame and riches untold,
But in return, their secrets are sold.
A click, a share, and trust is gone-
Privacy is lost as the
