Poem: Give Back

To be sung to a modified version of “I will survive” by Gloria Gaynor.

i pour my heart out to the internet and all i get is none
i’m not consenting with everyone else having so much fun
i mean it is really not that i am asking much of all of you
just to comment on my blog and facebook page and twitter too

since all these years i put online all these things that i have made
and i was hoping you would write back - actually i even prayed
but all i get is once or twice a month a letter by some fan
and all the other letters that i get are merely filled with spam

what did i do wrong? do i deserve such scarceness of attention?
you know it’s kind of hard to write this kind of lyrical invention
i have always tried to keep out greenbacks from this game
all i hoped for was, perhaps, some undeserved fame

you’re still not writing, so i let you know that i am mad
you’re not appreciating the good and bad times that we had
i offered you all my work, my songs, my thoughts online for free
but now i say: no more! you have heard the best of me.
