Social Media 22 Poem by DM W

Social media is like a minefield;
Someone's always trying to trip you up.
You're always waiting, in anticipation,
Of an ill conceived verbal explosion.
God knows what certain, lower forms of life;
Who vent their vile garbage, get out of it.
It's certainly beyond my comprehension!
As for the standard of discussion, well I'd say
That it's invariably infantile.
The level of sentimental bilge is
Simply staggering! Hysterical reactions
Are not my bag. What happened to logic
And reason? Have I missed something here?
With this in mind. I would like to offer
A sensible suggestion. Next time you
Care to post, make sure you do your research;
So you're in possession of pertinent facts.
Then again there are very few who will
Bother to listen, because most are so
Wrapped up in themselves, and in their oh so
Important lives. I can do without it!
These days, I have very little to say
To most people; yet, perhaps surprisingly,
Lots to say to a significant few.
