You put the social in social media
Can't run out into the world around you
It's all ashes now
Can't hide from those things that confound you
Our sins will consume us all
Where's the finger pointing at now
One flick of the hand like dominoes we all fall
One by one under inspection
The skeletons in our closets exposed
How could she ever go out wearing those clothes?..You ever heard of self respect?..Words are weapons can't you feel those angrily typing fingers wrapping ever so tightly around your neck
There's no more room to breathe in social media comment sections
Losing sight of humanity
Surrounded by lack of compassion, aggression and lack of empathy
By day she's a math teacher, at night judge, jury and executioner
We're cruel creatures we've invented a million ways to hurt someone
No need for torches we got memes that will light you on fire
Modern mobs
The thirst for blood never expires
Never ending until you've made sure someone feels as broken as you
