It Is All in the Details, Medium
A Silent Sonnet
It is all in the details, Medium
Which were enumerated enough times
You have become a rabid tedium
I only pass by to affirm your crimes
You miscount reads that pay, preferring fans
You count views which are worthless any day
While keep boasting of your progressive plans
Needing to be slapped for followers’ sway
Ten years away from you could be a boon
But the pay will fall from puny to nil
You have assumed a sliver of the Moon
Though it is not a smile but a thin chill
This is just another Sunday grievance
Beating out a prayer for some quiescence
