Where oh where have my followers gone?
Marcus aka Gregory Maidman, Thief, Shadowgnosis

New management has lost my old friends

Where oh where did my followers go?
zero green bells, zero three days in a row

I’ve accepted pennies for my thoughts
long time passing, but no notice
breaks my already bleeding heart

when will I ever learn

Algorithm, why do you hate me so
I keyword and SEO, I do all asked of me
to be seen and read..it is as if I am already dead.

Where oh where will my words all go
they are as cut flowers left on graves

If platform is dying as some say it is
digital dust blowing in the wind
all my words are but dust in the wind

When will I ever learn

Stolen, or borrowed, I as they, twist other’s words into our own offerings-guilty as charged I am.
