have we become so gullible?
commissioned words
dictating what's laughable
forming opinions as herds,
contradictory,
pretentious nerds
the Storypicks & what nots
just doing their jobs -
twisted, language snobs
we're sensitive & sore
over easy-target-*******
ordinary comments or
passive war zones
insulting behind screens
cyber bullied celebrities
out of context interviews
conversations -
scaled & skewed
trivial issues
disproportionate views
trending news.

When did we lose all our humour?
chasing offense at sensational rumours
tell me what’s the trending 'fume off'
so I can also lose my cool and scoff
'*** was that a comment about ****,
homosexuality or abuse? you chaep
It’s only okay to joke about gods,
thrashing men and *** and farts
you’re a ******* celebrity
each word's a responsibility
the onus of being on record
every breath a scheming plot
how dare you be so human
a billion followers,
all ready to pinch & zoom in'


Where is it that you draw your line?
or do you just let the trending news decide
