Selfie selfie selfie!
Sects sects sects!
sex sex sex!
Show and tell
Anything and everything are game
Everyone wants to have a say
Not enough to be heard
but also to be seen
It used to be 'have gun will travel'
Now it is the other way around
It is go 'travel and have a selfie'
Next minute splash it on FB
It is for the whole world to see!
We used to rightly call it 'self portrait'
Elegantly done with a reflect camera
Not even a modern day compact
With the flash gun at the ready
It was an 'ancient' selfie
Silently done but appreciated gratefully
No one cared and no one bothered
It was to be shown only
to family and friends
Taken with finesse
and proudly passed around
Why a selfie on FB?
One followed by another by the day
To show how one had aged gracefully?
Ok no talking of selfie!
Neither about 'sects' inviting controversy
Nor of sex best discussed privately
Care for a time-out?

ReplyDelete"This Is The New Shit"
DeleteEverything has been said before
There's nothing left to say anymore
When it's all the same
You can ask for it by name
Had it checked out! That's the opening lines above. Seemed like some protest song of sorts with some hard-hitting lyrics. Thanks Kutamun

I agree with the above comment/
ReplyDeleteGood write all the same.
i could take a time out because who knows what the next big thing is....ha
ReplyDeleteI have certain friends who post at least one selfie per day. They should be arrested.
ReplyDeleteSelfies are a scary trend. I don't like other people taking a picture of me - why would I take one of myself?
ReplyDeleteWell said. What's up with us, and this selfie phenemon?
ReplyDeleteYeah all the selfie crap needs to go away, who cares, seen you once, don't need to see you 365 days a year lol
ReplyDeleteI love the lines "It used to be 'have gun will travel'
ReplyDeleteNow it is the other way around"
So true! And let us not forget what you put online never goes away on the internet.
haha
ReplyDeleteI think we need one!
Well done.
