In a world where time we (women especially) lack
There is always room for another shortcut or hack ..
*
The corridors of social media are replete
With clever hacks to help you complete
Tasks that are lengthy and laborious
In fewer steps without much fuss
Hyperbolically toured as genius tricks
With catchy phrases that in your mind stick
They often promise results similar to, or even better
Than from the original process followed to the letter
But the steps suggested are strange at best
And do not perform well when put to test
Sometimes the hack is an age-old technique
Repackaged and refurbished as being unique
*
I have given in to the temptation
And followed some hacks with the expectation
Of stellar results, only to be completely dissatisfied
I end up regretting the decision of having tried
The hack, lured by the promise of time free
Because extra time is the utmost luxury…

Eventually, the number of ways in which something can be done
Is finite-you cannot create something new each time, without repetition
When there is pressure to continually create novel content
When gaining subscribers and followers is the intent
Content creators come up with hacks of all kinds
Because time-saving tools people generally useful find
Except- these hacks are not useful anyway
You would be better off following the tried and tested way..
