Headline Deep
Perception is reality…who needs the truth?
The court of public opinion won’t ask for proof
Peeling the onion is too much to bear
Skim the surface and pretend to care
Crash landing…nothing stands
Quick conclusions in careless hands
Reckless abandoning facts dismissed
Split and stitched to fit the twist
Clear the cobwebs no time to stall
Scroll, react and read nothing at all
Rewriting history bit by bit
A headline is enough. Who needs grit?
Looks aren’t everything yet they decide
Sapping joy while fueling pride
One-click affection with baseless praise
Fifteen minutes…gone in a daze
Real content buried lost in the stream
A love affair with the algorithm’s scheme
Divorce the cycle if you dare
The unholy union keeps you there
