We scroll past bodies like it’s just content
Another war clip, another “thoughts and prayers” event
Kids catching bullets while suits debate the cost
We all act shocked but we already know it’s lost
And it’s genocide somewhere, but it’s “complicated” here
Funny how the truth gets quieter every year
Metal toys go bang and the headlines blur
And the cycle keeps spinning like we never learn
People starving on streets you walk every day
You got cash in your pocket but you look away
Say you “worked for yours,” say they should too
Like the world’s that simple, right, good for you
We burn our books like it’s Fahrenheit 451 coming true
Keep the kids nice and clueless so they don’t feel blue
Don’t teach them history, it’s “too **** sad”
But the truth is ugly, but it’s supposed to be bad
Millions dead in the The Holocaust, yes, it hurts to read
So is slavery, and assault, just pick your century
You think hiding the story makes the damage gone?
Nah, it just means we’ll keep passing it on
And kids get hurt and nobody screams
Till it trends for a day, then it’s back to memes
My friend’s got scars, and I’ve got some too
We joke like it’s nothing, what else do you do?
And nobody cares, or that’s how it feels
Maybe they’re numb, maybe nobody heals
We got so used to it we don’t react
Just shrug, scroll down, “damn…that’s whack”
Are you really gonna fix this place like that
Posting black squares, yeah congrats on that
“Raising awareness” while you sit and stare
People are dying, do you even ******* care?
I’m angry as hell and I don’t feel wise
Just confused how we normalize all these lies
How cruelty’s casual, how pain’s routine
How the worst **** alive feels weirdly…seen
It’s messy, and I don’t have a plan
I’m just calling it out ‘cause I know that I can
If the world’s this broken, at least say it’s true
Don’t dress it up nice, what the **** is wrong with you?

Good song for this: Born2run Penelope Scott
The amount of violence in the world has desensitized us, we hear of another shooting, of a mother beaten to death, and we sit in the comfort of our homes and maybe add a hashtag to your next post and keep scrolling.
