Increasingly I seem to see
A disturbing trend around me
Of rants and complaints everywhere
Overt, or disguised- beware!
Posted on various web platforms
Sometimes flouting societal norms
A new way of expressing displeasure
Sitting with a computer, at leisure
The slightest annoyance has to be shared
On facebook or twitter, with strangers shared
No doubt there are some folks in cyberspace
Who will sympathize with your unique case
Making you feel your opinion is precious
In a world of loyalties increasingly capricious
The internet provides anonymity convenient
Towards usual decorum it is more lenient
Thus criticism inappropriate in polite company
Is posted on the web, for the eyes of all and sundry..
**
Social media websites were actually designed
Keeping friends and family in mind
To share happy moments with one another
These websites have metamorphosed altogether
For people to push their biased views
“Creating awareness” is the oft-used ruse
I wish people would stop criticizing
Keep negative opinions hidden, without publicizing
For negativity breeds intolerance, I think
It will take time for this idea to sink!
