Clapapult to Fame

10 Seconds. 50 Claps. It ought to be easier

It ought to be easier
To praise woven words of worth
To thank those who send love forth

It ought to be easier
To place ink on pedestals
To light up pedestrians

It ought to be easier
To raise proud voices of change
To crack a witty exchange

It ought to be easier
To thrill with troves of tall tales
To find new worlds when all fails

It ought to be easier
Some like, some share, some react
Why wait for clapstick humor?

An era of clappening
Seasoning of reasoning
One to fifty. No respite?
