We LIKE and we SHAREA Poem by AugustusThis is what most of us do on Facebook
When the world is full of woe
(as it pretty much always is) "Oh! He has nowhere to go!" "Oh! Her life is all amiss!" And just what do WE do, to show that we care? But of course, isn't it obvious? We LIKE and we SHARE! On the screen those big pics flash The gaunt little Somalian kid Or the leader who stole our cash "Of HIM let our country be rid!" We SHOUT and we YELL till we're gasping for some air And then we press those little buttons; WE LIKE and we SHARE They took her on the streets; 30 or more Give or take a few: All smiling bright as day Outrageous! Bestial! Horror leaps to the fore Society is sick: Disgrace, Disgust, Dismay When the hyenas pounced, some of us were there But we quietly went back home, to LIKE and to SHARE Things happen to THEM, some win, some lose For some Life is REAL, outside the LCD screen Anyone of US game to be in their shoes? Of course not, dude! We'd better stay where we've always been We can make a difference, you know, by sitting in a chair Because Lord Almighty knows, that we LIKE and we SHARE AND WE THINK IT IS ENOUGH! © 2012 AugustusReviews
