Facebook Philosopher; Twitter Politician
Behind locked doors
Complaining in his underwear
Corleone wannabe; Electron farmer
Virtually connected
But no one’s really there
Soft porn fan club; Which Muppet are you?
Friend a million followers
And join a worthy cause
Post a peck of pictures; Tweet a revolution
Green in solidarity
But clueless of his flaws
And the earth keeps a-spinning
And the pundits feed a frenzy
And the health and the wealth and the stealth are going southAnd the Facebook Philosopher
From his cozy hidden mountain top
Shouts in CAPITAL LETTERS that don’t issue from his mouth
Laptop glow; but men prefer the darkness
Afraid of the trumpets
And the bowls and the light
Fear-filled Pharisee; sound-byte Sophist
Cannot tell the Human One
Hidden from his sight
Orwell fixation; Faux-freedom phantasm
Oppression imagined
In the shadow and the dirt
Worker worth wasteland; Google iPhone Nanny
Lie behind the Powers
No one’s getting hurt
And the world keeps a-turning
And the profits keep on calling
And the lights and the cards and the flesh are making sheepAnd the Facebook Philosopher
Still hidden in his nakedness
Grabs a beer and a bullet and goes back to his sleep
