superficial frosting
hollowed soul
force the user
to expose their
pawn-ness
show the world
your just fancy
disposable christmas wrapping,
sellable, they’re pimping you out !!
did you get enough pieces of silver
for your soul ? oh, they gave you a
dollar to spend at their yard sale !?
certainly??
a great price ??
for
all
your
most
treasured
photographic
memories……

I, of course, get far more out of social apps than people who can actually go somewhere and hang out with folks, in person. But that is not to say that I disagree with any of the above sentiments–FB walks a fine line. I figure I’m good if I’m not playing any of the FB ‘Games’ like Farmers and Mafias, I’m not trying to start a business on a FB page, and I’m not just trolling around saying mean comments to people I disagree with.
On the flip side of that, I do post things I wish to share with people–my poems, my improvs, my essays–and, being human, I hope to be heard or read or at the very least ‘liked’. — so there is a sense in which I’m disappointed with the lack of views, comments or replies. Especially in the Piano music, I fear that having shared the last 5 years or so on YouTube, I can’t blame people for not listening to see if I’ve improved lately (which I think I might have done).
But aside from all that, I really enjoyed this poem–it chides deftly without actually attacking FB–more of a warning than a rant at FB Users–which I like.

Yes. You unwrap all the phoniness with which we surround ourselves. Well-expressed and powerful.
