A song lyric dedicated to all the social media “keyboard warriors” who feed their own egos with their bile and hatred, but who contribute nothing to the conversation or to the world in general by their insignificant utterances. Envisioned as a moderate- to up-tempo folk-style song with calliope accompaniment

————

You sad, old men fume and declaim

Self-important but lack true fame

Point accusin’ fingers of blame

With no evidence

You shout and preach, expound your views

Allegate without a clue

Don’t need truth just spread fake news

With no substance

You thumb your tweets, post up your blogs

No discussion, just monologues

All bark, no bite; dead horses flog

Write nonsenses

You have no significance

No significance

You set yourselves as judge and jury

Stir the pot into a flurry

Lots of yelling, all sound and fury

All irrelevance

And whey you start to spew your hate

Sputter, spit and blockage

It’s just the way you self-stimulate

With no issuance

You have no significance

No significance

And so you shriek, howl and inveigh

Like an ass, you kick and bray

And when you have lived our your days

They’ll be no remembrance

You have no significance

No significance
