THE SOCIAL MEDIA

The social media;
Oh! What a platform
On which
Everyone is a teacher.
Knowledge poisoning is on the rise.

The social media
Oh! What a platform
On which
Journalism is for reactions ;
For likes and mass actions.
Circulation of false news
Is on the increase;
We say whatever we please.

The sores of the heart
It conceals.
Our deepest fears and insecurities
It reveals.
Pains and sorrows
It hides.
Our social sicknesses
It never heals.

Our hands are too weak to help;
But our thumbs are fit to type.
Our eyes are too weak to see
The needy and despondent
On the way.

Good deeds are done
For the cameras.
Materialism is on the rise.
The show business only gets bigger.
As we flaunt our shirts and ties.

"We're a generation of idiots
Smart phones and dumb people."
I couldn't agree less.
Cos we've cast away social health
For a sickness beautifully termed.
