Facebook Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I have journeyed on facebook
with its multiple destinations
and its multicultural communities
I traversed its multiple boundaries
and its beautiful landscapes
taking a moment to post my profile
and make local & international friends
at this global village market stall
with everything on offer
I joined several groups
shared some funny photos
and even 'liked' a bucket full of comments
I 'liked' my friend's photo
but then I was charmed by a stranger's beauty
I 'liked' that photo too
I received truck loads of messages
some advising me on life issues
and some were just hilarious stuff
I stopped at some girl's page
and my heart stopped for a second
I can not tell you what I saw
but it was awesome
FB as it is affectionately called
is a beautiful tree
with its fruits hanging low
your appetite is satisfied
with its shadow
you can be rest assured of your accommodation
and get to taste the beautiful side of the 21st century
