“Breaking news… another expert ignored.”

“Trending now… celebrity caught buying the wrong handbag.”

“Millions outraged.”

“About absolutely nothing.”

A man explains the climate graphs with data, facts, and charts

Three viewers stay till the end

A cat that farts gets millions of hearts

A teacher begs for books and funds

The schools begin to crack

But people raise a holy war

‘Cause someone changed a snack

A surgeon warns of burnout

Of minds collapsing quietly

But podcasts hosted by comedians

Now cure anxiety

“Just wake up at four a.m.

And bathe in ice and rage!”

Congratulations, modern world

We’ve reached the circus stage

Everybody’s talking loud

Nobody says a thing

The loudest clown becomes the king

If he can dance and sing

Are you kidding me?

We gave microphones to madness

And called it liberty

Are you kidding me?

A million people quote fake gurus

Like sacred poetry

We spend our lives outraged online

At strangers we don’t know

While corporations rob us blind

Behind a polished show

A scientist says, “Vaccines work.”

A guy named Chad says, “Nah.”

Guess which one the internet

Turns instantly into a star?

Now Chad sells supplements and hope

With laser eyes and smoke

“Use my code for twenty percent!”

Humanity’s a joke

Politicians feed on fear

Like pigeons feed on bread

Divide the poor, distract the crowd

Keep critical thoughts dead

And somehow every working man

Still fights the one below

Instead of asking why the rich

Keep running all the show

A world on fire, a melting clock

But let’s discuss instead

Which actor wore offensive socks

Or who unfollowed who on Threads

Are you kidding me?

The planet’s screaming warnings

But we’re busy filming pranks

Are you kidding me?

The oceans choke on plastic

While influencers sell us tanks

Of useless junk we do not need

Wrapped up in dopamine

We traded depth for vanity

And sold it as a dream

Soon they’ll sell “organic oxygen” in luxury designer cans

And people will queue overnight to buy “limited edition air”

Scientists will beg for action

And somebody on TikTok will reply:

“Source?”

“LIKE! SHARE! SUBSCRIBE!”

“TRUTH EXPOSED!”

“TOP TEN REASONS THINKING IS OVERRATED!”

The forests fall, the workers break

The billionaires build space hotels

And half the world applauds them still

Like prison guards ringing bells

We poisoned rivers, killed attention spans

Turned patience into dust

Now every second must entertain

Or people lose their trust

Children learn from algorithms

More than parents now

No time for nuance anymore

Just instant sacred cows

A headline is enough these days

To start a civil war

Nobody reads beyond the rage

Or asks what truth is for

Are you kidding me?

We turned ignorance fashionable

And wisdom obsolete

Are you kidding me?

A screaming fool with perfect hair

Can fill a stadium seat

We built machines to reach the stars

To cure disease and pain

But mostly use them every day

To spread aggressive brain rot shame

Maybe future generations

Will dig through all our feeds

And wonder how a species smart enough

To split atoms…

Could still be fooled

By clickbait, fear

And neon-colored greed.
