Join us in this world of virtuality,
With a sense of satisfaction, like the spin of ecstasy you so dearly miss.
Come waste hours of your life as the days turn to nights,
As blue as the titled wall.
Do whatever it takes to maintain your social status,
And loose real friends as fake ones increase.
Enter groups of keyboard warriors, bullies at the top of the rank.
Watch your dignity turn to images before you
As the only sense of existing reality.
For the words that muddle the screen
Re only masks of those seeking acceptance by the daunting electronic crowd.
So come loin us, inhale the atmosphere of your peers
Hear the voices of empty chats and the noises of the ongoing feed.
Enter the social network; we will be your never ending drug addiction.
