Sonnet on Spending too Much Time on Facebook


Sonnet on Spending too Much Time on Facebook

I want to meet living breathing people
Not just upon the Facebook’s icy page
Talk occurs beneath my church’s steeple
But the rest of Earth leaves me in a rage
Thine headphones seal off earholes in the gym
Or upon thine cell phone thou dost natter
Walking or seated with a visage grim
Sternly bearing your teenager’s chatter
Neighbors stand behind closed doors as you pass
Trying to avoid the hallway face to face
You’re home all day as they laid off your ass
And the hot men no longer give you chase
With a sigh, back you log on to FB
Hoping that your life will be less MT
