I see humans—oh, so many! Scrolling, posting, grinning plenty. But where’s the heart? Where’s the soul? Lost within a black-screen scroll. A man lies bleeding on the street, A thousand phones, not one heartbeat. *** so tragic! Look at this!" Click. Upload. Another miss. Lights, camera—suffering’s live! Watch it now! Like, share, subscribe. Ambulance? Oh, that's passé. Let’s film his pain, it’ll make my day. "Breaking News: Humanity’s Gone!" Trending now, but won’t last long. For soon a cat will steal the show, And empathy? Well, who wants to know? The value of life? It’s cheaper now, Than a cup of coffee or a plastic cow. A drama here, a scandal there, We watch, we laugh, we hardly care. So here we are, in modern grace, With filters on both heart and face. I see humans, a crowded sea— But tell me, where’s humanity?

The Age of Screens and Silent Screams
I see humans—oh, so many! Scrolling, posting, grinning plenty. But where’s the heart? Where’s the soul? Lost within a black-screen scroll. A man lies bleeding on the street, A thousand phones, not one heartbeat. *** so tragic! Look at this!" Click. Upload. Another miss. Lights, camera—suffering’s live! Watch it now! Like, share, subscribe. Ambulance? Oh, that's passé. Let’s film his pain, it’ll make my day. "Breaking News: Humanity’s Gone!" Trending now, but won’t last long. For soon a cat will steal the show, And empathy? Well, who wants to know? The value of life? It’s cheaper now, Than a cup of coffee or a plastic cow. A drama here, a scandal there, We watch, we laugh, we hardly care. So here we are, in modern grace, With filters on both heart and face. I see humans, a crowded sea— But tell me, where’s humanity?
