Social Absurdities


Duck from flashes;

Reality mismatches

With photos by the dozens,

Posted by all employing cozens.

Honest faces displaced among

   millions

Of others hiding faces, embarassed

   vermillion.

Ignore the empty likes.

Look towards real life.

People reaching for true connections,

Surrouding the self absorbed, self

   concerned, with actual affections.

Reach for reality.

Search for honesty.

Filter through false faces

To get into the good graces

Of actual people

Creating connections as lasting as

  peepul.
