Today Poem by Reign Belle Amethyst Degamo

By: Reign Belle Amethyst L.D

People minds are breaking
Social media's too addicting
The world is changing.

Manners are no longer part of upbringing
Children are the one who's controlling
Parents are spoiling
Now kids are lazing.

Money is flowing
For millions are liking
To videos they're posting,
Scrolling without knowing
Time is what they're wasting.

They see others entertaining
While they're discriminating
Others are alienating
And that feels really isolating,
Villains are what they're creating
Depression is what they're giving
Society's becoming really disgusting.

Luckily some are still surviving
This addiction is not effecting
Schools also continued teaching
About values and the right way of living
Like the old days we're missing.

There's a positive side to this social media thing
It's the comfort zone to some of the living
When people around them is not comforting
They find posts that are encouraging
They find jokes that gets them laughing
Even though in reality they're struggling.

I'm talking about the real thing
Yet those addicted are denying
Saying I'm prying
For I have nothing
Telling I'm envying
Cause they're enjoying.

To some this might be offending
Well, I don't know what everyone's feeling
But this is the world I'm currently seeing.
