SELFISH SELFIES

Look at me
What Do you see?
Selfish selfies
Its all about
ME! ME! ME!
Extended arm
What's that about?
It's to capture
The puckered lips
That seductive pout.
Get it out there
Modern society deb,
Syrup trap
For salivating fools
To tangle in your web.
But wait,
Unwanted knocking on your door,
It was only a tease
Selfish selfies
You knew the score.
You've just posed
Like a whore in Amsterdam,
These are the goods
Can you afford them?
It's really only a scam.
Self promotion
On the most basic scale,
You all look the same
Quite pathetic in truth
You're no Mata Hari, you fail.
When the fad dies
And ladies again become mystery,
Where beauty speaks
Through action and word
A better place social media will be.
