A Silent Sonnet

It is all in the details, Medium

Which were enumerated enough times

You have become a rabid tedium

I only pass by to affirm your crimes

You miscount reads that pay, preferring fans

You count views which are worthless any day

While keep boasting of your progressive plans

Needing to be slapped for followers’ sway

Ten years away from you could be a boon

But the pay will fall from puny to nil

You have assumed a sliver of the Moon

Though it is not a smile but a thin chill

This is just another Sunday grievance

Beating out a prayer for some quiescence
