come for the poetry,
stay for the likes
I keep hitting refresh,
because something's not right
I see quotes and platitudes
on the front page
with a shitload of likes
and it fills me with rage
I can count all the likes
my work gets on one hand
and it took me an hour,
I don't understand
while some wipe their *****
some streaks on a page
and that **** starts to trend
becomes all of the rage
come for the poetry,
stay for the likes
I'm seriously thinking
of going on strike

when you find yourself on the side with the majority, then it's time to pause and reflect...
something to think about
