Beware The Selfish

When social media reached its height,
A group of selfish ones arose.
Their vanity was brought to light
As they sought 'likes' for their delight.
They flaunted wealth and gaudy clothes,
Deceiving 'friends' with posts of prose.

This selfish group is unrefined
And lacking in appeal.
They wear a mask to hide behind,
Insisting that their deeds are kind,
But time will force them to reveal
The way they truly feel.

With unctuous lips, they will define
The works they leave behind.
But don't imbibe their rancid wine
Or dwell on all that they opine.
Their copious words are ill-defined,
Designed to sway your mind.

You would do well to not engage
This narcissistic crowd.
Their thorny thoughts of latent rage
Are deftly aimed to subtly wage
A war of words that rises loud,
Like thunder from a cloud.
