The Loneliness Of Facebook By Lori W My notifier informed me you had something new to say. Your status updates told me of what’s happening today. You’re going to the coffee shop with Elsie and the wean And I tick “like” and comment, then you comment back again. Your family all look wonderful in photos that you share. Your dog, your cat, your plate of food, that milk jug over there. The holiday snaps, the wedding vid, I’ve seen them once before But as friends do, I tick them ‘cause I wouldn’t just ignore. Two hundred friends ? Impressive ! Wow ! That’s really quite a feat. A Facebook frenzy you must have. You’d better take a seat. Accumulating all those folk, but you they all adore. You prove your popularity by adding hundreds more. Were more popular than Jesus now.” John Lennon once had said His words come back to haunt us now although John Lennon’s dead. But then I add a status to my own wee Facebook page No “likes”, no ticks, no comments, no-one bothered to engage. I sometimes feel invisible, and maybe no-one cares About my leaky roof, or that dead body underneath my stairs. A little word from time to time would really make me smile Just knowing that you care for me if only for a while.
