Opuss is dead; long live Opuss A transitional time creating a fuss The old are not out but the new are now in The war of the words is a fight we can't win
We can stand by the shore like old king Canute Trying to repel the tide of google quote loot Or we can stroll along the sand getting our feet wet Creating beautiful words, the best will come yet
The popularity contest is almost in full swing Likes are for sale, followers liking anything Top of the day will be like top of the year But gems will be found that still fill me with cheer
The old guard will topple, no one can compete With copy and paste posters with the world at their feet A split in our nation but not a fatal cut The talent shines through the mire of the rut
So keep posting quality and stand your ground Don't look at the charts, you might not like what is found Keep scrolling past the posts that absorb your smiles The x'th inane verbiage from some bloke called Harry Styles
Long Live Opuss • Opuss № I
