Cheap Click

Surfing through social media it's a wave coming atcha in speedia, forward motion becoming a blur clickity clack there is no cure scrolling fast, getting motion sick, oh look another cute cat pic it's a cheap click, a blue like thumbs up like hitch hike blazing fast again on the highway, there's some ads flying our way, like billboards on the roadside, x them away, they don't hide, now it's a bumpy ride, what is up with that chic, no pride, blindsided by that news story, click on the link and it's gory, not what the story was suppose to be another cheap click got to me. smiles turn to frowns then laughter the two cents everyone is after every emotion in a powerful punch let's check on that link after lunch like pacman chomping the bits youtube video has how many hits does that make its content true this looks like something I could do cooking up a steak on truck hood, yum yum that meat looks good seeing a clip from mythbusters busted guess not ...I got husted, didnt' work, ain't going to,... why post a cheap click from an eager host can't tell truth from fictionary dang, this internet world is scary anyone can make up anything you see, just look at my post, half the words arent in the dictionary but that is alright cause it's online, heck ya ain't even know if these words are mine but i got ya now with a cheap click keep on clicking cause something will stick

Love the street rhymes and rap rhyming it echoes with the ghost of Bob Dylan's subterranean homesick blues. Nailed the whole social media thing to the wall, sadly we're all dancing to the same tune as everyone else why else are we pouring our hearts out on poetry sites such as this. Still at least we have the insight to realise we're Suffering from the same symptoms. A very thought provoking write. Tim

Ahh, such a lovely poem this is, there is certainly truth in your words, like all others I am also addicted to facebook and youtube, you see internet have good things as well as bad, it is our choice to use it in the way we prefer, looking foe knowledge, it is the best tool, it can befull of benefits but it also has dark sides, so again im the end, everything depends on us, that how are we suppose to utilize it, good luck and have a nice day

Oh Cas! Cleverly written and OH SO TRUE! I've become way too addicted to Instagram. I find when I don't want to expend mental energy....you just keep scrolling. Sometimes it's helpful, others a waste of time. Hugs
