whatever Flickr is
over the years for
its growth to Flickr
pros it owes ..
but in its haste
to become another
clone of Facebook
make a billion bucks
in adds a tumbler
full of woes ..
oh sorry Flickr pros
you will never be
forgotten wherever
you go .. although
this tribute as a poem
for my love of all of you
i chose ..dear marissa
mayer hope you read
it too .. feel our pain
photostreams that
flow its course ..pulled
out by Flickr managements
arm twisting force
tears on the soul
of photography ..
despair and remorse
forgive me maam
for crying out
loud and hoarse

too much of anything
is bad a thought arose
new flickr in deathly throes
funereal poetry partly prose
on the face of the pros
flickr management shut
its doors in memoriam mass
on 20 august pall bearers
as free members they chose
think flickr think new flickr sucks
says a beggar poet firoze
moving out to 500 other friendly
photo sites ex pro members
in shell shock deep repose
why this harakiri a question
in all humility i pose
my favorite old flickr was
murdered in his sleep
no he did not die of overdose
my photostream with a flood
of blood sweat tears overflows
why why a torture on us pros
you impose ...the pride of flickr
wont ever come back once
they go .. flickr refugees
finding new homes on
strange shores .. boats
sailing in the winds
without oars ... a thought
rises soars ...we have
been treated worse than
street side whores ..

god too is sad ... of course
with you arm twisting force

very slow
confusing chaotic
it works if you
hit the mule
with a stick
refresh refresh
every page
you pick
the soul
of new flickr
is corroded
only the flashy
flesh looks slick

at first it was
exciting a high
but after sometime
loses the kick
for some it is
the old flickr
nostalgic
this new flickr
has made a lot
of photographers
bloggers sick
seminal sorrow
dysfunctional
demystifying dick
curses on the soul
of the developer prick

flickr
brings change
as a reward on
the internet
a billion dollar bet
mayer and karp
came tumbling down
none in each others debt
a heart the lonely hunter
a heart to let
