Trading Dignity For Digital Fame Poem by Ali Farah

Trading Dignity For Digital Fame

Social media trends, a disturbing blend,
Of absurdity and morals on the mend.
Dignity sacrificed for likes and fame,
Enticed by the lure of financial gain.

An endless quest for approval online,
Cultural values and beliefs decline.
Integrity traded for dollars, a shame,
Setting a precedent, a tragic game.

For the young, a harmful path unfurled,
Guiding them into a misguided world.
A downward spiral of values betrayed,
In the shadow of likes, true selves fade.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The content that often trends on social media showcases an alarming level of absurdity and moral decay. People frequently compromise their dignity in pursuit of likes, comments, and followers, driven by the lure of monetary gain. This relentless chase for online validation disregards cultural values, religious principles, and social manners, revealing a willingness to trade personal integrity for a few dollars. It's a damn shame, as this behavior sets a dangerous example for the youth, potentially leading them into a spiral of misguided actions and values.
