Oh, the viral people, with your perfect lives,
why do you post envy-inducing pictures,
is it just for social media drives?
Your flawless faces and curated feeds,
all creats an illusion that everyone believes.
Your viral messages, with hidden agendas,
spreads like wildfire but nobody remembers.
Your viral blogs, which are full of clickbait,
to hook in readers, but leaving them in a state.
And let's not forget, your viral posts,
filled with hashtags and innocent boasts.
But in this world of likes and followers galore,
I can't help but feel, like I'm just a small chore.
For I am surrounded, by a virus called 'social media',
where likes and views, dictate my worth, oh what a hysteria!
But let's not be fooled, by this viral facade,
for there's so much more, beyond this shallow façade.
I dare you to break free, from this virtual chain,
and live our lives, with joy and no more strain.
For we are more than just numbers,
on a screen we live real dreams,
we are real people and not virual reels.
So let's not be consumed,
by this virus called 'social media',
but instead, let's focus on,
living life to the fullest with all its realities.
I can't help but feel, like I'm just a small chore.....the small is not insignificant rather it is significantly significant!
Exactly my thoughts Asim. I believe the more you are online the more lonely you are. The likes and wah wahais doesn't make sense. Find few good friends among the lot. Everything is faked with no real life or relationships. Beautiful thought line. Compliments.
A very timely and meaningful write. A wake up call to all. We must live simply and with humility.
