On all of the social networks,
They say we have free speech,
But what they never tell you,
Is they throttle your outreach.

Oh, you are just so very happy,
To have a new account online,
You’re gonna reach the world,
Man, it will surely be so fine!

Very excitedly you post away,
And wait for the flood to begin,
Likes, reposts and comments,
Many friends you hope to win.

But then hours slowly pass by,
Yes, days turn into a full week,
Your account is totally dead,
Why doesn’t anybody speak?

You seemed to do it all right,
Your graphics are quite cool,
But what you fail to realize is,
You’re just that network’s tool.

No matter which one you’re on,
They operate much the same,
Yes, tho you may not know it,
You are a pawn in their game.

With only two types of pieces,
You’re either a peon or an elite,
Top class gets all the exposure,
While peons grovel at their feet.

Thus, elites get 1000s of views,
While your page remains dark,
Though try as hard as you like,
You just can’t light that spark.
