Clicks and Likes

With its trusty algorithm,

Facebook prioritizes for you

Posts and ads so that you see

What it THINKS you want to view.

 

Bold and sassy, the company

Doesn't even apologize

When certain Facebook users receive

Political ads that are filled with lies.

 

By the way, are you a purist,

Whom the trend might disturb

To see "like" used as a noun

And the word "friend" used as a verb?

 

The world today revolves around

"Clicks" and "Likes" on the Internet.

People become bizarrely obsessed

With how many "Clicks" or "Likes" they get.

 

Email to many is cumbersome,

But if there's something you want me to see,

The BEST way to ensure that I see it

Would be to email or text it to me.
