BuzzFed Up

Too many strong words are wasted on weak opinions.
Beehives of buzzwords getting smoked out by potheads
Still clanging from the iron fist
Calling for din-dins.
Too many on a diet of
Blended information,
Sweetened with refined statistics.
Too many beheaded metaphors
Running around like underage chickens.
Too many, like, lost similes.
Too many ya get mes
Falsely reciprocated.
All in the name of face;
Faced with a problem they turn
Their backs and face away
But when it all swings back
You've gotta face it and
On the face of it, it ain't got legs
But it can grow roots;
Trees have been known to fight.
I'm stuck in a world that systematically
Mistakes convenience for irony and
The systematic for the systemic
It's a pandemic
In more than four colours
On the board.
We're either too busy or bored
And it's bored into our heads
That unless you can touch it
It ain't shit
But why get your hands dirty? 
Nobody's home now,
The land of the free
Or at least the piss-cheap,
Faith took a leap
Onto the garbage heap
And these rhymes were brought to you
Half price, summer special.
To stop and think you've got to
Stop.
Stahp.
God is disappoint IMO
Because we're not goals enough.
Goals is tough.
Crack a crooked smile
Cutting corners sly
Papercuts hurt,
But you've gotta cover the paper trail
With blood.
It's better to have blood on your hands
Than money in your boots,
At least they won't shake you down for it.
Your MCM screams 'Free Palestine!' when he busts a nut.
Your WCW can take a selfie from seven angles
But a thought from just one.
