The kids, they are dropping like flies
Making the daily headlines
Sending shivers down our spines
But what are we doing?
Shaking our heads
Expressing regret
Then going on with our lives
As if nothing ever happened
Knowing full well
The cycle isn’t going to break itself
When has apathy ever helped?
The media is so obsessed with covering only tragedies that we only see them on the news 24×7. This has desensitized us to a shocking degree. We feel horrified for a second and then that feeling passes as if it never existed. This is why we need a balance of both positive and negative news stories.
Couldn’t agree more, Arun.
