Simple life

Would you be happy, the simple life?

An analogue time, before whoring for likes,

Before scrolling and texting started wasting your nights

And having nothing to say didn’t feel like a plight

With lost time to filters, to makes pictures just right

And sharing others opinions, though their talking shite

Slinging insults at strangers and daring to fight

Comparing your missus, to your new neighbour’s wife

Paid for by adverts made to capture your eye

Pointless shit here - BUY BUY BUY BUY

I’ve been invited to this, I’ll go and say hi

Next week I won’t, I can just change my mind

Rejection is easy, it’s one click on the side

Creeping on histories and searching timelines,

Check who’s fucking who, if she’s seeing that guy

We all know it’s happening, we pretend to be blind

It’s taken happy occasions and removed all the pride

It’s placed panic and fear in people otherwise fine

It’s brought bullying home and not left behind

It’s made people so anxious they commit suicide

We’re told it’s a tool, but it’s sharp like a knife,

Used wrong it’s a weapon, endangering life

When you look in the mirror, not when you’re online

Ask if ever you’ve seen a profile picture cry

Put simply... I don't like social media. that said, please like my Facepage page. you can't escape the machine!
