Thank you, all the same

This is for those who broadcast their “good deeds”
Whose niceness is only to attain fame
They like to capture and caption their works

Out there looking like heaven’s unhirred clerks
Posing as though they’ve lost all sense of shame
Those who prey on a child’s weakness and needs

They should find a rock and bury those seeds
Clippings of all their applause, they frame
The truth of their works like the devil’s smirks.

Social media graduating more jerks
Not every act of praise deserves a name
Follow this train of thought, see where it leads

Packed box of charity to fit their pride
Thank you, all the same, we know you have tried.
