Why Are You Like This?


Dear- no, 

wait. Let's cut to the

chase.

whyareyoulikethis?

Why are you like this?

My go-to in procrasination.

The first destination, in rotation, my salvation.

Twitter: this generation's

Facebook. Conversation centers on

"Have you seen this tweet?" 

Speculations being confirmed

By you. Have you seen the news?

They just tweeted it.

Arguments on pigmentation, 

Subordination, drugs causing hallucinations

and nothing but resepect for MY president

who took a 

permanent vacation from office.

140 characters with

light punctuation, memes

shared across the nation and

eventually end up on Facebook.

Twitter. You are a 

cultural affirmation, new form

of education there is

no 

isolation when I 

open my app.

So, thank you for

Giving me a sensation

of the world in which 

we all

came from. 

...Yours truly
