Is there something in the water or air
that's spreading stupidity everywhere?
Kids don't tend to learn anything in school;
vying for who'll be the next tiktok fool.
Society seems to be devolving;
it's a worldwide puzzle that needs solving.
Today, everyone is glued to their phones;
no individualism; they're all clones.
The internet has morphed into a cage,
where people's minds seemingly disengage.
Hate and bigotry have gained a platform;
what once was outrageous is now the norm.
We're losing our ability to think;
it's simply easier to interlink.
We're banning books, and we're ok with that;
the net supplies 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?
