Is social media boon or curse ?

Yet again someone suicide

Mental trauma, gave up his life

Not everybody is that brave

Someone ego might get satisfied

Wrong allegations or unsaid words

How can you judge

Yes, it is another defamation case

Don’t you think it is murder

All thanks to social media

Is it boon or curse?

We pass the judgment without even thinking once

Are our courts off to vacation

The truth might be different

How do you know

Not even trying once to know it’s veracity

All thanks to social media

Is it boon or curse?

Why life has to be perfect there

With no flaws can ever be found

how quickly we interpret

Oh, he has everything

And I am still struggling

Depression

Insecurities just come in

But it is not what is always seem

Illusion or reality

You don’t know anything

All thanks to social media

Is it boon or curse?

How it is been used to spread fake news

Oh ! Use this medicine

Oh ! Do this or that

Life hacks they say

Social media has a solution for everything

And what can I say on those messages

If not sent to 100 people, bad luck will come in

Increasing hatred

People divide

And truth has a silent cry

All thanks to social media

Is it boon or curse?

P.S. I just want to say we can use social media in a lot of productive ways. Stop believing in fake news and don’t forward anything without finding out its authenticity because it may take someone’s life or might lead someone to depression. What we saw on social media may not be true so don’t dishearten yourself seeing anyone’s life or success, it might not be true or if it is true, you don’t know how much hard work and struggles he/she might have faced to achieve it. Think wisely, do your work, one day sooner or later, you will achieve all these things.
