OPPRESSED! <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

02-18-2025<\/p>\n

I’m feeling so very oppressed,
\nIt does not matter where I go,
\nSocial networks don’t like me,
\nMy posts rarely make a show.<\/p>\n

It is like being in a big desert,
\nAll around sand is what I see,
\nSo trapped in this dead zone,
\nWhy won’t they just let me be?<\/p>\n

It is similar to an invisible wall,
\nI’m separated from my friends,
\nAs I look off in the far distance,
\nThe huge wall just never ends.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how often I post,
\nNo difference does it ever make,
\nSo there is only one conclusion,
\nSocial networks are all so fake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
