Social media Lies

Social media platforms 

use algorithms 

to feed you what you want to see. 

Fuel for taking up offense, 

ever rationalizing; 

counter productive behaviors, 

negative world views and 

crippling personal judgments.

 All while pandering to our pride, 

exploiting our weaknesses, 

then pilfering our pockets for whatever cash we might have left 

in snake oil promise 

for solutions that merely 

perpetuate the cycle. 

A hamster wheel we compete to run on. 

Examine the sources of your outrage and apathy.

Free your mind.
