Murders occur daily
In battlefields
In streets
In Subways
In neighborhoods
People are pushed to their death
Under trains, cars or lorries
People held at gun-point
Shot at blank-range
Beaten ferociously
People bleed to death
But unlike in old times
Nobody stirs a finger to help
Or assist a being in danger
Us humans instead
Snap photos
Film aghast scenes
For posterity
For the news
For YouTube
For history
We say with no shame
Whatsoever
Then we retreat in our social networks
To display our bounty
And Debate
Press like or dislike
Discuss
How disgusting
Our values are gone down the drain
We are mere verbal species
Unable to act as humans
We are only concerned
About our internet values
Our popularity in YouTube
Our image in Facebook
Our gossip in Twitter
We are despicable
No more socializing
No more gathering
No more dinner parties
No more discussions around fireplaces
Maybe no more feelings
No more true love
We are computer slaves
Chained to theses ghastly machines
Rapaciously consuming thousands of images
Of terrifying scenes
Of desolation
Death
Crime
War
And what have you
Goodbye caring human species
Welcome smartphone cold beings
