They are the Kings of Facebook,
lords of their domains.
On thrones of pious words they sit,
in status updates, reign.
From faith to sports to politics,
experts in topics all!
Unlimited wealth they do possess,
their currency- gall
Outside the online world
their resumes are thin,
accomplishments of note they lack,
what they seldom do, is win.
Their lives in reality, insignificant,
thoughts and opinions easily ignored.
How can they feel important?
Have their self-esteem restored?
On Facebook, yea, on Facebook!
Life meaning can be achieved
one can discover there a following,
among the similarly deceived.
Shares and likes and followers
are all that they desire.
With each mindless mouse click,
they are mesmerized, awed, inspired!
None scrutinize their posts for truth,
or how accurate their stance is.
There’s no consequence for being wrong,
so they can take their chances.
If perchance an unbeliever comes
and dares to disagree or question,
the guardsman of the king will pounce
to punish such transgression.
Insults, slurs and vile critiques
will intensely rain on the dissenter,
the wise will surely ask themselves
Why did I dare to enter?
When all the reasoning voices
have been so rudely chased away,
The Kings will rule unchallenged,
for the Kings have had their way!
