It’s Your Call

It’s Your Call

 

It’s a time of social media make believe

With filters and apps meant to deceive

So that we begin to believe our own lies

Turning up the sound to drown our cries

 

It’s a snap chat, tick tock, world now

We’d like to win but we don’t know how

We’re all scrolling and rolling on the floor

Filling our minds but still we want more

 

Cause we don’t want to admit the pain

Tryin’ to live off of someone else’s gain

Watching all the drama on tiny screens

Trying to forget our own or so it seems

 

Just grown up adults playing make believe

Trying to hold out for some kind of fantasy

Watching the life of others on display

Not realizing the way their posts betray

 

But I’m so tired of playing dress up

Always striving to get that full cup

It’s time you see me warts and all

Then whether you love me, it’s your call

    'modernity's social networking
    zealotry
    that pariah cesspool of depraved
    inhumanity
    where those schoolyard bullies
    and masochist, victim hierarchy's
    reign supreme, adhering to nihilism's
    futility'...
    so yeah, basically
    I'm not a huge fan, lol
    (thanks for sharing)
