Humanity has grown tired
Of the company of others.
We search for companionship
Through screens and messages,
To convince ourselves we are not alone.
But we are.
Who could we call,
At 2 am, when our world
Has been torn to pieces.
When we can only scream
At the injustice that has been done to us,
When we take to social media
To tell people what has happened to us,
We get love, attention, help,
But only if the situation is truly horrible,
Or if we are of privilege.
We no longer speak up for the weak,
The poor, the hungry.
We used to help others,
Collaborate all together.
What has happened to us,
For humanity to grow so selfish and self-centered
That we no longer care about war,
The suffering of millions,
About children crying, going hungry
How has it come to this?
