Redfish Liberation – demise of the bots

in #poetry5 years ago

I wondered lonely as a fish
stuck swimming in a petri dish
singing my solitary song
without a tribe where I belong

I even thought to try a bot
fly to the land that time forgot
attempting to manipulate
my prominence and seal my fate

As someone worthy of a vote
because of all the script she wrote
but soon it left me feeling fake
with empty comments in my wake

the system hijacked by no tribe
that ever would attract this scribe
but rather by gamers instead
who buy their votes like daily bread

The system gamed by delegates
votes going to those heavyweights
who simply pay to play all day
regardless what their post may say

The mediocre rose like foam
upon a wave where all fish roam
while whales controlled the pool and vote
and trivia was all she wrote

So screw the bots I said one day
I’ll write my own script to my play
of how a truther swims bot-free
out of the pool into the sea

You too can swim on your own steem
things aren’t as bad as they might seem
Just take the dive and carve your brand
before you lies the promised land
