Social Media!

A platform where ideas and knowledge flow free,

Connecting people everywhere, letting their thoughts be.

Started to keep in touch with those dear,

Networking, sharing on a platform, so clear.

Used by one-third of the world’s vast lot,

For some, it’s a distraction and loss of thought.

For others, it spreads misinformation’s claim,

Feeding anxiety and depression’s flame.

Sharing joy through photos and videos bright,

Voicing opinions on matters both random and right.

Creating groups to share knowledge and interests,

Bringing together various, vibrant quests.

For businesses, it’s a tool for promotion and gain,

Advertising brands, products, and services in the fast lane.

A place for prospecting, where chances are many,

Yet connections can be shallow, not always uncanny.

Men and women often lose their sense,

Chasing likes in a digital pretense.

Rather than true, meaningful ties,

They seek fake connections and false highs.

If used wisely, it can help learn and grow,

But beware of addiction, as posts and likes flow.

Too many focus on self-presentation and fame,

Leading to social isolation, a dull game.

You don’t need to impress the whole world’s view,

Craft your own story, be genuine and true.

Not knowing real joy, you might face strife,

Live with love and happiness to truly thrive.

It’s a disguised cage for the elite’s,

Forgetting life’s cycle in their relentless race.

Chasing fame, name, and money’s call,

They end up losing it all, becoming cold and small.
