This is a generation
Of fake happiness broadcast
And made to look real.
Social media
Filters out most colors but
Leaves behind the ones
We crave most ourselves.
Friend has taken on a new
Meaning. Not so much
Friend as acquaintance
Whom I frequently snapchat.
Will they be around
When needed, I wonder
Will they answer their cell phone
At five o’clock am?
Be cautious.
Parachutes don’t work as well
If purely ornamental.
