It’s Only Insta
Hide a small of your life
We don’t want to see
Every twist your life takes, and every meal you eat
Enslaved for views, jester for masses of fools
Making mockery of the pained and abusively used
Blackening your heart, now that’s one hell of a due
For hearts and likes you fiend, to spread like a cancer
Relay this to them
They feel the pounce of the panther
Piercing your soul with their eyes,
They generically reply
Sigh
Chill, it’s only just Insta

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem because I don’t like what social media has become. I’m not opposed to social media, but I am opposed to the recordings of misfortune, pain, and danger of others all for the purpose of going viral and getting likes. If you see a baby in the street or a body , “Let me find my phone to record” shouldn’t be what pops into your brain first

While I'm not a social media user, I truly get you're saying. Too often compassion and empathy are eclipsed by indifference. What happened to our humanity? Good write!
Thank you so much, Bella. I appreciate it!
