I hope you're amused!
When Snowden showed us the NSA leak,
When Putin's exposed by Navalny the "prick",
When COVID-19 hits hard like a brick....
The active of us, they scream and they try
The rest of the world, observes and goes by,
The climate, the plastic....we're going to die?
Scientists tell us, there is no more time:
the bees they are dying, the ocean is hot,
the corals are bleaching, the people are fucked;
The voices of all who tell us the truth,
Became like a music, repeating on mute.
And who has the time to care or to act,
When Putin decides it is time to attack: bombs and guns, dead people in slums; fake news, fake clues, fake people, CONFUSE!
Remember Iraq and Afganistan? The Syrian migrants, the sound of a gun?
Remember the lies, remember the dead? Remember the suffering and the tears you shed?
Now go back to bed!
These problems you see, they will never end.
And when you wake up, just use your "smart" phone
One thumb is enough to scroll all alone,
And read yet again, how others still scream,
And how nothing changes, the future is grim.
A scandal, a war, corruption, or all,
They roll day by day, tiktoking away,
What's new for today?
You're busy all day, consuming, consumed
Confused and abused, your anger diffused
I hope you're amused!

So the whole thing is satire and its talking about issues like climate change, wars, corruption, etc and also about the people who don't care about these things and spend all their day consuming media on TikTok, Facebook, etc, which also gives them a skewed perspective of what's actually happening in the world. Scientists are shouting about climate change saying we don't have enough time, but nothing changes 🙁

in reply to Rokosun • •hmmm I see....It is better to show it as a link to the original. But damn...I thought it can show it as it is originally. Nothing against Mastodon I think it is fantastic what they do there, but why are people flocking to platforms that are more limited in the tens of thousands, than platforms that are feature-rich!? Well I guess because people go for whatever becomes popular for whatever reasons.
I mean on Friendica you can also make short posts, but then you can make huge ones. Bot of the worlds.
Anyway....I am so glad I found Friendica and it allows me to express myself fully. I would be unable to do this on Mastodon for example.
But options, whatever works for ya...
