Chad on his soapbox

“Chad on His Soapbox”

 

Here comes Chad on his soapbox,

scrolling feeds and posting loud.

He claims he sees the world so clearly,

but his storm is just a digital cloud.

 

Chad picks fights in every comment,

tweets his rage in endless threads.

Whether in church memes or politics,

 love is the casualty his anger spreads.

 

Oh, Chad, do you hear the silence growing,

do you see your words come echoing back?

One day your followers will stop showing,

and who will care when your feed goes black?

 

Oh, Chad, don’t you ever pause to listen?

don’t you see the hurt you’re handing out?

There are hands extended, tears that glisten —

step down from your soapbox, you’re missing out.

    There are those that only have critical words to say, nothing good they see. It is easy to find fault when one looks for it in their life of misery. So much a happier life to find the beauty and save for the important issues one's energy. Nicely said Cryptic.
