Social media animal

Aristotle said man’s a social animal

Bruh, who even is Aristotle?

A Greek philosopher, thinker

Is he on Insta, how many followers?  

No, no, he lived in the 4th century BC

Oh, thought we’d take a selfie

Difficult now, but read his metaphysics, ethics

Read? Dude, I need stuff that hits

I’ll be happy to oblige

Ha, funny – bruh, you have an old vibe

Can’t be too old if I’m your bro

What? Sorry got a text – I’m gonna have to go

Oh, so sometimes you do read

Whatever – yeah, if it’s a dm or on my feed

So, a friend recently wrote a literary poem 

Okay, but was there even a reason?

Just to express her thoughts, interestingly

Did she get aura points, seriously? 

Aura points? It was recognized by a literary magazine

Hmm okay – but people need instant dopamine

Her poem’s deep and makes you think

I have thoughts – see my page, it’s public

So you like to reflect?

Real – every few hours I post on the Net

I guess everyone has something to say

Bruh, social media owns the day

Yeah, but does it actually help people connect?

Yo, anywhere on the planet

No, I mean on a personal level

Bruh, people want their posts to go viral

You know, you can’t have relationships online?

Dude, you can meet online and take it offline

Right, but on social media, people are performing

Yo, it’s called branding

I know – advertising is my vocation

And Bruh, you also perform your poems.
