Literature Text

I'm hungry, feed me
your hearts desire.
your kids, entire.

You stare into me,
watching the cities
in my maw, the pretties.

Why not step off,
With all the rest?
You aren't the best.

I will take you.
Your flaws and
strengths in hand.

I'm hungry, feed me
and I will feed back
tell you what you lack.

The people inside me
are perfect, flawless
and you, you're less.

You need what I offer
My promises, my deals
I can sell you some ideals…

You really need this,
it'll set off your eyes.
Try that, now in an economy size

I'm hungry, feed me
kittens and factoids and scandals,
sad African kids without sandals.

If you can't say it well
then repeat what others say
it's B&W, who cares for gray?

Say what everyone thinks.
You know we've got your back
in our  righteous wolfpack.

Attacked from all sides?
I will offer a sympathetic ear,
and I never forget what I hear.
My thoughts, in verse on the down sides of social Internet.
Having the system know me, isn't an idea I am perfectly comfortable with.
I know this is a little hypocritical from someone on a social media platform,
Someone who knows he has slipped up enough to be identified.
But let's say I am reluctant and this is why.
4/11, :iconnapowrimo:

P.S, if I follow a rhyme scheme of my own invention do I get to file this under fixed forms?

Exactly! Wow, great work, my friend! I'm sorry I "missed" it when you originally posted it! It's so sad how... via the internet, we strive to become something "more" but none of it's real. Reality takes too much effort, I suppose.
