It is I, again. I’m the itch that can’t be scratched, folks. Slightly annoying, but I mean well. In all seriousness, I’m just always looking for a catchy beginning. Hey, they can’t all be winners. It doesn’t...

Life is Hard, Facebook is Easy

Poetry

I've been surfing the Facebook Ocean far too often bobbing up and down gentle waves of escapism swimming where it's surreal Life is hard Facebook is easy And so I'm back, once again, far too soon far too often lulled by the lure of alpha waves soon to soothe in troubled times.

  I try to use Facebook only for Marketplace and it still manages to steal the precious moments from me.
  What is the actual point of it besides being a massive income stream for the already rich.
  Friends meet for coffee where words are supported by body language.Facebook friends are so many other things but mostly they’re just words.

  99% of social media is trash. Go old school and meet people on the street or at places of social gatherings. Awesome write my friend.

  Facebook is hard

  Pink, I spend far too much time on facebook. It is a sea of chaos and confusion I find. Your poem is very wise and you see social media with clear eyes. Like Emerson said, “As if we could kill time, without injuring eternity.”
