Internet Famous

Like, share, repost.

Every day we do the most

Playing their game,

Chasing internet fame.

All for companies who 

don’t know our names,

Who got us digging our grave.

We clowning on main,

Going insane,

Tap dancing like slaves.

As they 

Pulling our strings.

We ready to give up the ghost,

Just to see whose post

Gets liked the most.

Social media got folks

Going for broke

 Just to stoke

The flames of Capitalism.

Here’s a dose of realism:

We’re living in a technological 

Oligarchical dystopia. 

Bruh, we’re biological

Oddities.

We inhabit ephemeral bodies,

But seek to be eternal.

We say we love our fellow man.

But on the other hand,

We reduce everything to numismatics.

Here’s my syllogism:

We’re so addicted to 

Getting clicks

We don’t get

How much it’s making us sick, 

See how it’s making us pricks.

All for billionaire gits,

Who give no shits

As we slit our wrists,

So our name’s atop an arbitrary list.
