To My Facebook 'Friends' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To My Facebook 'Friends'



To my Facebook 'friends'...
Any time a smearing is done,
To defame and backstab anyone.

Remember,
This is often a way...
One who chooses a synonym,
To keep a facade reflecting what is fake.

Anyone choosing to communicate,
Behind a mask.
Should tell you 'something'
About that Facebook 'friend'!

They have selected you to spew their filth.
And from the gutter,
They pull trash!
Hoping what they utter has 'legs' enough to last.


Note:
It's difficult to defend one's integrity.
When those with none...
Have chosen a mask to adorn,
To inflict harm upon someone!
And yet,
Those with an absence of self respect,
Seem always 'busy' infecting the fresh air.

Every word in this poem is an authentic fact on the peculiar nature of social media, where friendship is an arbitrary word were a simple act of association entitles strangers to be friends. Great work Mr S Pertillar, incidentally I facebooked this so there is irony.
