He’s a model man on Facebook
as can be seen from the pictures
of him with his wife and kids.
Not just a family man though
this puffed-up middle manager
being a big fish in a small pond
who’s fond of updating those
trapped in his virtual kingdom
with his team’s achievements.
Yet all is not as it would seem
if we peer behind the scenes.
You can ask his employees
whom he drives to their limits
to satisfy the capitalists’ greed
or his poor wife who dreads
the now too familiar despair
of discovering his latest affair
which will stab her like a knife.
All this simply goes to prove
that a model man on Facebook
can be a monster in real life.
