TWEET IN DEFEAT<\/p>\n

No one ever sees my tweets,
\nI know Twitter is to blame,
\nThey do not like us peons,
\nThey play an elitist game.<\/p>\n

I tweet and tweet all day,
\nTill my fingers turn so blue,
\nBut it really does not matter,
\nBecause I rarely get a view.<\/p>\n

Well, I paid for Twitter Blue,
\nThinking now I will be seen,
\nYet nothing\u2019s even changed,
\nWhy is Twitter so darn mean?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think this is really fair,
\nTo pick the cream of the crop,
\nInequality here is so rampant,
\nIt is about time for it to stop.<\/p>\n

Now if you happen to agree,
\nPut some action to your feet,
\nBy doing me a single favor,
\nGive this post a big retweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
