Poetry Day: Look At Us

Lego Robin (Also Lego Batman)

(The desire for attention is stronger today than when I wrote this poem.  Sad thing is that it seems to be more financially sound to do this.)

Stupid stunts and sickness
Done in the camera’s eye
And posted without fears
All for a stranger’s cheers
With dignity tossed aside
Clutching to your ignorance

These will come back to roost
At a time you have matured
Forgetting this act is there
Before the world it’s bared
Its return is reassured
Then it will be your noose

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

  2. Very prophetic, Charles. There are really some dumb things on TikTok, Insta, and YouTube nowadays.

  3. I like your rhyme pattern for this one.

    Also, it made me think of the current Republican VP candidate. A few years ago he went around the extremist social media making inflammatory statements about cat ladies and the real purpose of older women.

    I’m sure all the goons thought that was so much fun. But now? Not so much.
