A Look at the Politics of Twitter

The People’s Republic of Tweets,
governs itself on a unique set of rules.
One who moves into the twitter nation,
should be sure to read the declaration of codependence.

At election time, the VIPs of tweeps go
from zero to crazy in 60 seconds.
The one to make the biggest spectacle wins.
The prize a seven figure amount of virtual constituents.

Followers are the seed from which
the twitter VIPs self-esteem blossoms.
“Unfollowing” is an act of treason
and is punishable by not so subliminal,
subliminal twitter rants; a fate worse than death.

The VIPs stand on their soap boxes and tweet,
on and on, about what they think the people want to hear,
keeping them in a constant stupor of complacency,
giving them no reason exit during their solos.

The reign in Twitter nation is short lived,
for fickle minds crave peculiar flavors.
New elections offer a chance at living in Twitter infamy,
instead of dwelling in the mundane.

Here in lies the secrets to the political twitter machine.
Only the strongest survive in Twitter nation
and life in the People’s Republic of Tweets
is not for the faint-hearted.
Take heed and govern yourself accordingly.
