"The Exposure Epidemic"
In the land of cyberia, where brains go astray
Lives a tribe of exhibitionists, in a naked display
They post their privates, with a "look at me" grin
Hoping for likes, and a fleeting win
Their self-worth's a joke, a laughing stock
Measuring value, by a digital clock
They crave attention, like a desperate cry
But true connection, they can't deny
With each post, they scream, "Love me, please!"
But get only lust, and a bunch of sleaze
Their feeds are a mess, a hotchpotch of shame
A digital legacy, forever to remain
They're the queens of thirst, the kings of desire
But true intimacy, they can't acquire
Their love's a lie, a mere fantasy
Built on likes, and a virtual reality
Oh, the horror! Oh, the shame!
Their naked ambition, forever to remain
In the annals of cyberia, a cautionary tale
Of foolish minds, and a digital fail
Their minds are a maze, of confusion and strife
Where self-respect's lost, and dignity's rife
They're the jesters of the internet, a laughing stock
A generation lost, in a digital shock
So let's mock their madness, with a chuckle and glee
For in their nakedness, we see a tragedy
A cry for help, a desperate plea
For love and connection, in a digital sea
