Verified Frenzy


I'm verified I mean on twitter and IG, not on life I mean it's just like: to get that blue check☑ on your profile Celebrity status is the main price No real difference between getting heard or being known Just create enough awareness and you could be the talk of the town Positive or negative deeds don't matter anymore Just get to the big brother house even if you have no plans to win the millions No talent to compete with others, yet you passed auditions But you could care less now you're famous, let them talk on That's the desperation that pushes this generation Excess emphasis on gaining popularity with follows and drawing attention via likes and mentions Woh, I've got a million followers Now they'll follow back some more Where are we even going, dear journeyman Because as I look around, I see no man's land We're all lost in this wilderness Where a stroll by exposes one to padded bums and sagacious breasts Okay, I'm supposed to lead the way, I guess But I did, and no one followed suit because I was dressed, besides I'm not even verified I lied, like most of us online Or I probably didn't, I only ticked it in my minds eye So don't vilify me, I'm very much verified Not by Mark Zuckerberg, but by I myself!
