Engagement

If every day you can say something new,
to keep your content fresh and sparkling clean,
it won’t much matter what else you may do,
so long as you don’t say just what you mean.

See, no one wants to dig in all that deep.
The truth is, what we want is light-weight friends,
just close enough to hold but not to keep
beyond the time the current platform ends.

If this were revolution, would it be
so simple to peruse and then pass by?
If our commitment is so fast and free,
it may soon wither up and start to die.

Maybe it doesn’t matter in the end,
but I’m so tired of playing just pretend.
