Ode to Social Media
A prompt from an Oxford Poetry Workshop where we had to write an ode.
Praise be to Twitter activists
that use their voices to raise
the choices of the silent ones
Cause if Boris Johnson can get action
Then we've all got hope for true affection
Praise be to TikTok dancers
that use their hips
as well as their lips
If Queen Camilla can wear a crown
Then we can all turn our lives around
Praise be to Facebook sellers
that use their side hustles
to keep everything under their rooves
If Elon Musk can buy Twitter,
Then we can all buy our morning coffee
Praise be to the Snapchat Liars
That unintentionally teaches us
The power of the truth
If Kim Kardashian can write a song
Then we've all got our tales to tell
Praise be to YouTube Journalists
That uncover the stories
the mainstream media overlooks
If Greta Thunberg can inspire change
Then we can all work to save our planet's range
Praise be to Instagram poets
That turn heartache into art
Sharing words that resonate
If Rupi Kaur can touch our souls
Then we can all find healing in our own roles
Praise be to the Reddit community
That connects us all in threads
Sharing knowledge and ideas
If a meme can make us laugh
Then we've all got a reason to smile and have a blast.
