I Worry

I worry
In this well-connected world
I worry
Information overload 
In a big hurry
Horrific acts daily 
Come in a flurry 
It’s enough to overwhelm 
And make my sight blurry 
And because of this 
I worry
I’ve become part of the world’s jury
Doling out judgement
Of my keyboard’s fury 
I worry
That I will no longer react
That I will become numb
To the fact 
That I no longer care 
That I no longer feel 
That I no longer care to appeal 
To the humanity 
We should all share 
This is why…
I worry
