Social Media 3 Poem by DM W

It seems like somewhat of a double edged sword.
Is it a novel way to communicate,
Or just a playground for rambling narcissists?
Curiously, it reminds me of a circus;
Overrun with two bit clowns & fantasists.
What kind of conveyor belt mentality
Ponders the lurid lives of celebrities?
There's lots of information available
To satisfy pseudo intellectuals.
At times, it's a blurring of fact & fiction:
Where research surrenders to absurdity.
Do we need a plethora of puerile jokes
Juxtaposed with crass political intrigues?
Does social media fabricate events
Or allow the 'peasants' to participate?
Perhaps, it is a form of passive protest
That takes away the need to actually
Do anything of merit in the real world.
As for me, I take it with a pinch of salt,
For in truth, it's really not that important.
