“The Platform”

“The Platform”

When you think that you’re on the rise
Checking your inbox, so many replies
This is the new norm, a new disguise
On this new platform you life your life

Sunup to sundown, day and night
Onto the internet goes your life
Literally, actually, but not quite
Losing another one in the fight

Should have been working, but no one will care
Neck like a turkey, downward you stare
Evil is lurking and we’re not prepared
Pain and the hurting…emojis shared

Passing the scraps to the ones below
Last week a friend and this week a foe
If you are sitting, you’re not on your toes
Better be ready, ‘cause down you go

Sunup to sundown, day and night
Onto the internet goes your life
Literally, actually, but not quite
Losing another one in the fight
