Social Media
Another old friend has become unfriendly
After we exchanged our views
About the country's economic slowdown
On a platform known as WhatsApp
Earlier, a friend of mine became spiteful
When we had a chat over demonetization
Announced by govt. in November 2016
At that time we were on Facebook
Both these global social media platforms
Changed the status of friends into foes.
The Social Media can work both ways. Either it can enhance the status of a person or it can completely lead to misunderstanding and spoil a relationship. We all need to be careful and draw a 'lakshmana rekha' with the social media.........I understand, Rajnish ji.......10
One should think before clicking. Otherwise, the good aim of social media will be put to waste. A significant write, sir Rajnish...10+++
Yes, we need to be very cautious before putting across our opinions. It should not hurt anybody. Thanks for sharing your thoughtful views.
A bitter reality of our times. A thoughtful poem and thought-provoking poem. Enjoyed reading.

I have had just that experience also. People I thought were friends were not so. They just disappeared from the radar. My time on Facebook was good for a while, but became unpleasant. So much so that I left never to return. You present the downside to social media well, using a term 'WhatsApp'-a mystery to me.
Thanks for sharing your experience here. I too was on Facebook for quite sometime but had to quit on account of similar circumstances.
Not familiar with WhatsApp? This is very popular in India.... even more popular than Facebook. Anyone can use it for sharing messages, photos or small videos free of cost with the help of a cell phone.
My main problem on Facebook was with a nasty, anonymous hacker. He had it in for me. I am interested in 'WhatsApp? ', and I know a shopkeeper who could help me with that.
