“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.
