Social Media And Family

Adenekan Abdul Ganiyy // SSS3D
Secretary, GCI Press Club (2020/2021)

Families today are faraway
Not because they’re apart
But because they never find a way
To come together as one heart

The man sticks to his cell phone
Receiving different message tones
But still feels alone
Since he ignored his side bone

The woman neglects her primary duty
In search of the abnormality
Of fake life and deceit
Which is the social media receipt

The children too aren’t left out
Constantly logging in and out
With no check from the parent
Since they aren’t competent in the psychology of social media

These collapses the family union
Since in our own opinion
Social media is the criterion
To determine a successful champion

Let’s wake up to our responsibility
And ditch the irregularity
That threatens our unity
And holds to ransom our dignity
