This is INFLUENCA (Manifest)
She is a construct
Her actions are straight forward
Her words are easy
Her body speaks all languages
She cries online tears
She mirrors what she gets
She was created to present the content of others
She enjoys doing what she is told to do
Consent does not matter to her
She does not accept the boundaries of others
And so also others simply run over her
This is INFLUENCA
She never had a Phantom profile
And she did not choose her algorithm
She knows that she’s replaceable
She tries to succeed in any challenge.
She is not only living in the internet.
Facebook used to be infected by her
Many dudes hit on her.
She had no passport.
And in the end, she was reported
Access denied real name obligation
a confusing company construction
She can’t be accessed fully by the state
And due to her parameters
A CEO committed a major breach of trust
This is INFLUENCA
Now she is on Instagram
She is a product
Her actions are for sale
Her words are for sale
Her body is for sale
She was created to be sold
She is commercial
Her relationship status is neoliberal
Her activism is bought with likes
Her words are there to be forgotten
Visibility without content is her biggest asset.
Just like all her pictures
She lives for her selfie
This is INFLUENCA
She is not political
Her actions are not political
Her words are not political
Her body is not political
She was made to be a star
And she gets along in any situation
This is INFLUENCA
She is not the worst-case scenario
She is the lesser of two evils
She is not corrupt.
You can only influence her financially
She is not corrupt.
She is not corrupt.
You can only influence her financially
Let her burn a logo
Let her burn in hell
Let her be
Who she is
And she will laugh, she will laugh forever
Let her laugh and she will laugh forever
Let her laugh and she will laugh forever
Let her laugh and she will laugh forever
Her laugh will be remembered forever.
