Social Media Whore

Parisab

Whether it is for lust or lies

it’s disingenuous to cause such a fuss

As your ass is facing the skies

for our head is planning your demise

Don’t spare any grace you don’t posses

but you even lack imagination or pizazz

Too much oxygen is bad for a brain

when your body’s always upside down

Smug I’m not, but you’re conceited

Bored I am, and you’re defeated

‘Watch me here’

‘Read me there’

Bitch please, is you all there?

    Gosh, I've seen some terrible crap myself on Instagram, it's a shame really how women can sometimes use social media to flaunt their bodies for their image. I also find it really sad when people use filters It's so fake. I find this an important subject especially for the young. 💖

    • Parisab

      Yes Teddy, especially when this preoccupation stunts their intellectual growth-thanks for relating to this and the read

    • peto

      Loved this write
      Well worth the wait
      Different world from the one I grew up in
      Great read

      • Parisab

        So nice that you noticed the absence
        I waited for what I had to say
        And to your reference to ‘your different world’ of growing up, I think that we have met HER in all sorts of worlds :))

        • peto

          Definitely
          Although not with such a platform
          Thoroughly enjoyed the read

        • LIZ

          Lord have mercy!!! You're not lying! One of the reasons why I left "social media". Too fake! This title is chef's kiss!!! 🙏

        • Parisab

          LOL
          Thank you!

          So sad when some women wrap their entire self worth up in their appearance, or are willing to degrade themselves in a public forum for shock value. However, I wonder, would they do such things if it were really in public, or does the safety of their own bedroom give them courage to put themselves on display. Either way, you are spot on my friend.

        • Parisab

          Thank you for your read and I’m glad that this was thought provokingly honest-I just that it would be nice to have something important to say if you’re putting yourself on display-best poet friend

        • Bobby O

          I love this. Half battle all poem. Thrust out your chest the best fall down when you claim YOUR ground.

        • Parisab

          He he, the poem was definitely confrontational-but I’m glad that you’re keeping accurate stats-KA I appreciate your visit and feedback friend…

            😅

            • Neville


              alors je vous demande pardon madame.. pardonnez-moi, je ne suis qu’un pauvre paysan ignorant 🙂

              • Parisab

                Merci ! — Il n’y a pas de quoi, Cher monsieur 🥂

              • Doggerel Dave

                Really don't know what you are on about. I don't do social media. why would I ? I encounter enough stupid people in my everyday existence without what I hear is that.

                • Parisab

                  Smart move, sir…Thanks for the read…

                • L. B. Mek

                  what bothers me most
                  is that this once trend, is now
                  accepted as a societal norm
                  a concept, career path
                  where new generations will seek
                  to emulate for its ease of access
                  to instant attention and
                  hollow validation.. scary!
                  (what a brave and important write
                  dear Poet)

                  • Parisab

                    Thank you for your time and attention-I agree, the normalization of this conduct has changed the social and career codes-

                  • DREEK0

                    I remember enjoying what they had to offer...those were the days, but definitely better days ahead lol,
                    Love it.

                    • Parisab

                      LOL Yes it was a social Phenomenon originally and some people found it liberating-last I heard is it infiltrates different platforms and is boring and uninspiring-as to a similar theme to your most recent poem, I was going to suggest my ‘Love Potion No 19’ poem with some similarities in the themes of the young lust and true connection merging

                      • DREEK0

                        I agree and what you've heard is true. Definitely going to give 'love potion No 19' a read, thanks for the suggestion.

                      • Parisab

                        It’s great that you visited and connected with my words, Maxine-I’m looking forward to the rest of your raw and authentic poetry…

                      • Garth Rakumakoe

                        This piece says it all, with brutal clarity. Definitely a fave... I love it! - I love it when poetry tells the sober truth! - A hard hitting expose in every write!

                      • Parisab

                        Thank you sir, there was an urgent need, to say it that day…

                      • Thomas W Case

                        Sing it, sister. Brilliant work.

                        • Parisab

                          LOL, I lost it for a moment-thanks for liking it Thomas
