Influencer

This morning
I was influenced
By an influencer .
Who was looking
Just for some approval.
May be for him(her)
it was crucial.
I started feeding him(her)
with what social media
allowed me to provide,
a heart and a like
And a few kind words
That pacified him(her) alike .

He(she) said
the things i needed to hear ,
Yet he(she) wasnt addressing me
Let me be clear .
For I wasnt a person
But a single digit one
In his(her) list of a million.
Yet he(she) sold the ideas ,
That seemed too kind
And one couldnt help but
Fall in love with his(her) mind.
Until he(she) became
A brand's great find.

With the flock
that followed him(her),
Carried the face of a
Naive consumer .
One who would eat
And repeat ,
whatever they would feed .
So his(her) lwords
became the spell,
Under which they could sell.
Things that made her unique
Were reduced to
his(her) style streak .

Yet the million eyes
Glued to their screens,
Consumed what he(she) served .
To his(her) ideas and opinions ,
They confirmed.
And repeated his(her) words,
Just as they heard.
Hence the influencer
made some money
And the millions
Became the dummy
So that the ideas they sold ,
Became our thing to behold.
