Planned through Confluence

Hook followers

Through influence

21st century affluence

Like, Share, Subscribe!!!

Issuance

Must be under influence

Verizon on horizon

“Can you hear me now?”

Scratch that

Follow me on Snapchat

Sparse entertainment

Arrangement

Head tilted to face book

Their smartphone in hand

Hooked to Facebook

Take it to gram

Vaping, so I already am

3.5, to be precise

Poetic, so be concise

1/8th bandit

Instagram Live

Planned it

Entire web presence scripted

True self-encrypted

Passcode & Face ID

Decrypted

“Someone hacked my account!”

Ransom — Seeking certain amount

Holding a new jersey

Big Games James

Are you worthy?

Shout out to Banks

Not where you enter — Deposit in

Major League

Polaroid, the composite(s) thin

Picture perfect

Timing

Content is crème de la crème

All-Star Game

Jumping out gym

Flames throughout rim

Recorded on the internet

Within turn, yet

All of a sudden…

Ink jam

Bic block

Chinese drop

Tik Tok

Entirely new algorithm

Snitches everywhere

New Alpo rhythm

We dead that

RIP, if you read that

Thought process

Pending…

Let‘s see

What’s trending?

Makes it clear

“Trends start here”

What should I be following?

FOMO festering

Pro bono gesturing

Social media pressuring

Entertainment oversaturation

Entertain meant over maturation

App Store littered with infantile

Adults dive into pile

Thinking’s been too vile

Honey, I Shrunk the Adults

New style

Graduate to adulthood

Better chance to assault hood

Scrolling aimlessly

Thinking — Default good

Time passes

Mind lapses

Forgotten reaper

Lurking

Forgotten keeper

Inflation’s high

Look at all stations

Sigh…

As is influencer engagement

Who received the most likes

For engagement?

Real Truman Show

All true pen(s) know

Dipped in divine ink

Coalesce influence

Magazines refine Inc.

Jam-packed in houses

Selfie-stick spouses

OnlyFans arouses

No sex involved

Dopamine machine solved

Life becomes content

All appear content

Who manufactures consent?

Stand up living

Thoracic outlet giving

Postures bent

Phone sewed in hand

Lights glowed in stand(s)

Entire coliseum

Came out to see em’

When did life turnover?

Adjusting composure

Figuring out exposure

Shut the internet off

Suddenly,

It’s all over
