The Wall

Location

Keep in touch, keep in tune. Meet your old friends, meet your old loons.

Find your embarrassing cousin, find your ex-wives who have children by the dozen.

Everyone’s here, you just have to look, we’re all here on Facebook!

Every business has a good run, but in the end they always fall.

Mr. Zuckerberg, tear down this wall!

 

Post status updates by the tons, post pictures of your loved ones.

You can comment, like, follow and rate each and every thing.

You can message and share pictures of your latest fling.

You can play pointless typing games while hooking up with old flames.

It’s a growing world out there, all you have to do is click Share!

Old family photos, embarrassing as hell, you can upload them all!

Mr. Zuckerberg, tear down this wall!

 

My problem is I post my random actions by the hour. It’s addictive, I cannot quit.

The problem you ask? It’s annoying and nobody gives a flying shit.

I’ve got better things to do than read your daily routine.

No! I don’t want to know how many dishes you had to clean.

Those are photos I really don’t want others to see. What happened to having a little privacy?

Everyone just texts their updates and messages, nobody cares to call.

Mr. Zuckerberg, tear down this wall!

 

When I like everyone’s statuses, they give me suspicious virtual looks.

Everyone just Googles it, nobody goes to the library anymore to check out books.

Ooh, my friend just linked me to this awesome joke.

If you want to share it, and you wonder if someone is around, you can send an IM.

It usually does the trick, but if you’re not sure it reached them...

You can always send a virtual poke.

The servers are overloaded, the interface has imploded. Browsing speed slows to a crawl.

Mr. Zuckerberg, tear down this wall!

 

 

Fan pages for garbage, and groups for trash.

Hackers send links through updates and chat.

Watch where you click if you don’t want your computer to crash.

No, don’t click on that! Click here, not there.

There are games where your goal is to click everywhere!

Games cluttering my view, when all I wanted to do was log on and ask my friend what’s new.

People wasting hours browsing through the endless crud.

The instructions for disabling your account are clear as mud.

Comment, like, share. I don’t care.

Post, link, picture. How much more do we have to endure?

And now with a movie, coming in at the box office first overall...

Mr. Zuckerberg, tear down this wall!
