HEY!

Today I saw a 'selfie' of some people I used to know which I personally found extremely disrespectful, and so I wrote a poem... 

Since the day of cameras on mobiles,

the age of 'selfies' were born,

It started as an alright thing,

Photographs that can't be torn.

Showing your best assets,

filters making your best even better,

showing the world who you are,

and your new primark sweater.

But recently it's come to my attention,

this craze has gotten out of hand,

The locations of selfies being taken,

the world doesn't quite understand.

Selfies in the toilet, selfies that are inappropriate,

Selfies for acceptance, 'hey guys,  should I shave?'.

Selifes in memorials, selfies in funerals,

selfies by your deceased friends grave.

What is this warped generation we live in,

where we're insensitive to the location we're at.

Selfies at a memorial, a grave, are you crazy?

This has to be changed. Stat.

We've caught country leaders Cameron and Obama,

Joining the selfie craze,

But the location of their selfie shocked me indeed,

I was genuinely amazed.

It was at Mandela's memorial, 

A great leader who recently passed,

So while people were mourning beside them,

They thought 'ooh let's take one without the flash'.

It's ok to take photos, heck I take many,

of my face that is round and flawed,

But I'm not taking photos of my dead friend's resting place,

For your disrespect, we will not applaud. 

As for the leader of my country, how dare you,

You're meant to be an example to all,

Let this be a lesson to those who take selfies,

Be respectful, don't cause a brawl.

YouTube has one billion users visiting the site each month and six billion hours of content uploaded each month. But behind the viral videos and 'YouTube fame' is a community barely anyone outside of the YouTube circles knows about. In this documentary, we open the doors to the world of community and gatherings and introduce you to some interesting people inside of that world.
