SOCIAL NETWORK GAMES<\/p>\n

Well, I have five thousand friends,
\nAnd man, I really do like to post,
\nBut regardless of whatever I do,
\nI am treated just like some ghost.<\/p>\n

So very few folks visit my timeline,
\nComments and likes have tanked,
\nAnd as far as sharing my memes,
\nMy gosh, they barely even rank.<\/p>\n

Please tell me what is going on,
\nDoesn’t anyone like me I wonder,
\nWere my updates too offensive?
\nOr did I make a serious blunder?<\/p>\n

Now if you have ever felt this way,
\nLet me give you a really big clue,
\nThe fact that you are so invisible,
\nMay not have much to do with you.<\/p>\n

The social networks are all rigged,
\nEach user is assigned to a class
\nThe elitists get all the exposure,
\nWhile we peons are given a pass.<\/p>\n

Thus if you are not too important,
\nIgnore you they most surely will,
\nOr pressure you to buy some ads,
\nHow they so love to fill up their till!<\/p>\n

You can also buy a subscription,
\nIf you want to get a special mark,
\nBut if they still don’t even like you,
\nYou will simply be left in the dark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
