In The Age Of Self Promotion

Taking photos of self and texting friends nowadays does seem the in thing
And many indeed far too many their own praises only too willing to sing
In the age of self promotion with most self is the word of the day
Me and my family and close friends what matters most we are okay
If there are wars in the World this is no business of ours
Of this why should we be worrying and losing out on precious sleep hours
And if there are millions homeless and hungry for this we are not to blame
That we are okay is all that does matter their hard lives is not our shame
To the age of self promotion empathy is losing out
That many are locked in their own selves is something that goes without doubt
Compassion this thing of great beauty to many a thing of the past
In this the age of self promotion human values changing fast
Taking photos of self and texting friends nowadays does seem the in thing
And many indeed far too many their own praises only too willing to sing.
