Lazaretto
Who shot ya? Tupac, Biggie Smalls, or the Chupacabra? Another contrived media clip to satisfy your drama. And the updating of your status has caused a social media trauma. We are so plugged in, with a never ending supply of friends. Our social circles never end, with 1 million likes and counting. For when I connect to the world wide web, I am the coolest person on this sphere you've ever met. Because I can create me into whom ever I want to be. And you will definitely fall in love with this fictitious fairy person. Drenched in Coercion you'll believe whatever I tell you, and it just so happens that I am the most interesting man in the world. But I don't always represent like a boss... oh wait, I do. And I threw on the ground every thing that contradicts my space… too. So please will you embrace with me this rat race of social deception? The good times never end when I am plugged in to my friends epic statuses. I've gotten more tweets today then I could read in an eternity, even though I just got out of bed to look at them. And I feel fine about myself, so please, no judgments. And BTW, my friends list is bigger than yours is. And it's really irrelevant that I haven't met half of them. And a majority of the rest I haven't seen in years. But not you, me, or anyone else will deconstruct my social network. For all of my life I have longed to be accepted, and now I have found these genuine friendships. And didn't you know that Mark Zuckerberg is my best friend forever? We've partied dozens of times together, at least that is how I remember it. And my hourly rounding is really profound, a frame by frame collection of my life abounds. I checked in six times at the same bar this evening. And you've seen pics of my meal from every angle, with numerous serendipitous selfie's, to convince you of my good time. So plug into my life, no worry, or strife. And you can be my best friend too. But unfortunately, all the while, I'm lonely, and full of fake smiles, no genuine friends who are true. But you'd never know it, by the life that I've shown you, for it's easier to avoid the truth. So please stay tuned, my next status update will drop soon. And it's sure to add meaning and joy for you too.
