Behold! The latest injustice
Inundating our infinite feed
Enter the keyboard crusaders
Feeding on a voracious need
Reality shifts in slow motion
Belief dictates the view.
We don’t escape the horror
We just pretend that it’s new.
Right and wrong? Subjective!
We see what we want to believe
Through red or blue-tinted lenses,
Even truth learns to deceive.
We’ll scream ourselves raw just the same
Fighting perceptions we can’t debate
Entrenched in a blind of our own design
While tragedy refuses to abate.
So polish up your rejoinders
Dust off your sharpest contempt
It’s just another day of absurdity
That none of us is exempt.
