Stupid Era Poem by Emeka Williams Etumnu

Many times I wonder
As the rhythm of my heart goes
Ding dong, ding dong
I ponder
Have we all gone nuts?

Are we now robots?
Devoid of emotions
Nor human feelings
As we act stupidly
With our smart phones
When lives beg for help!

Why not a life saver
Than paparazzi
Acting so lousy
With smart phones
Stupid era
I ponder

Many, oh many
To the morgue
'Cause we fail to act
In the scene
We act foolishly with our phones

Allowing lives evaporate
All because
We want views,
We want comments
We want likes
Era of social media
Stupid era!

The baby in a carton crying
Yet we're videoing
Oh accident victims struggling
Yet we're snapping
Is our phone a curse,
Rather than a blessing?
I ponder
What a stupid era!
