Fall of Society, Rise of Suss IT

There's a balance, between the good and the bad,

Lean solely to one side and you'll still end up sad.

Values instilled from generations now washed away,

Materialists, Narcissists, fakeness in a vast array.

Agendas of crime, war, mental health, on the forefront,

Not backing an eyelid for anyone whose bore the brunt.

We say we care on our apps, not in our personal lives.

Quick to throw shade, with our own hidden in the archives.

Thinking what others say out loud, then scream in protest,

The moral compass is as misguided as the lateral flow test.

I remember listening to the clock go "tick tock, cuckoo",

Now Tiktokers go cuckoo, and I say "look who..."

When we're the top dogs, we're untouchable, all proof armour,

Seeking pity and compassion from the bitter taste of our own karma.

Spending all time on the cyber not getting own priorities straight,

Having an opinion that differs from the norm being labelled as hate.

Bright smiles with whitening teeth instead of Toothpaste

Blinding us to the culprit's fake vibe, and so Two faced.

Say "oh my God", forget He exists, hellbent to play the part,

The irony of confirming cardiac arrest for those without a heart.

Talking about how we should prevent losing lives to suicide,

Yet enable that journey when we take the good ones for a ride.

Gifted with a mouth to speak whenever we feel under threat,

Never using it to defend but elude to unearned respect.

"Smile, stay positive, let's all be nice to one another"

Yeah, I do, yet receive the same fate Cain gave to his brother.

Mobile phones and the latest apps, becoming huge priority,

Don't lie to yourself, can't go 2 days without, you're the majority.

In the past we spoke shit to someone to watch them grow,

Now we talk behind their back to see them fall so low.

Funny as children we were scolded for misbehaving,

It's the norm, no punishment unless it's attention we're craving.

Build people up, invest in their foundation, establish the deed,

We're Social terrorists, tearing each other down, when not in the lead.

Only highlighting the good in someone when they kick the bucket,

They think their conscience is clear, then say "ahhh fuck it".

Kyle cancelled after uproar from going out of control,

Yet hypocrites no different, double standard's on a roll.

We judge and say it as it is to those who lack understanding,

When the shoe is on the other foot, we cower no longer standing.

Ironic how we are united, yet encourage separation,

Stopping at nothing from destroying a reputation.

Glorifying the gang and polygamous culture,

Victims told to move on from being exploited by vultures.

It takes an illness or death to realise we aren't immortal,

One side of stress outweighs the side of us that wants to chortle.

Always hearing that there are no more good people in the world,

Well duh, that's because they all have been hurt or hurled.

Waking up seeing tomorrow today is a blessing,

But we live for dwelling on others' misery and stressing.

Real crime and danger ignored due to a heavy dose of apathy,

Tabloid journalist interns turn tattle tale then laugh happy.

Criticising the police for their brutality and torment,

Yet in our own circle we hold malice moving like an informant.

Empowerment stemming from victim mentality,

Fabrications of accusations, miscommunication, huge calamity.

We love to mistreat people on socials doing their jobs,

Like sheep, mindless, programmed only to follow mobs.

Severe consequences for using wrong pronouns,

Entertainment we live for are fights and verbal showdowns.

Every news headline, we love to judge without context,

Not letting go of petty crap, rather stay face long vexed.

How can we call ourselves human beings void of compassion,

Giving ourselves away to obtain the latest brand and fashion.

Cancel culture's with the woke's nothing but BS,

Because it's sad that the T-R-U-T-H H-U-R-T-S.

So when will we smile at someone instead of our phones for selfies,

I know the answer, pretty much when there's a Hell freeze.

Social distancing existed well before the global disaster,

Social media caused self-isolation to develop much faster.

We've infringed our own privacy, no journal or a diary,

Opinions are not your own, speak out of line, the mob turns fiery.

We should call these keyboard Warriors "Tech", sole cossets,

Why, because nowadays the world's ran by "tech-no-logics".
