Is there something in the water or air
fueling stupidity everywhere?
Children aren't learning anything in school
while vying to be the next TikTok fool.
As a whole, society's devolving:
a worldwide puzzle, in need of solving.
It seems everyone is glued to their phones:
no individualism; we're mere clones.
The internet has morphed into a cage,
where brilliant minds stagnate and disengage.
Hate and bigotry have gained a platform,
where outrageous behavior is the norm.
We're losing our ability to think
for it's much easier to interlink.
We're banning books, and we're ok with that:
for the net has pretty things to look at.
Stupidity is something we can't fix,
by throwing common sense into the mix.
There is something wrong with people today:
AI does their thinking; what can I say?
