Zombies
Distance becomes normal
Tears fall from high above
Conflict is burning thermal
In this world without love
She’s been sold for pleasure
A wealthy man’s twisted dream
Her pain is beyond measure
Across some random livestream
Is this what were becoming?
Tender sycophants that praise
Has it turned mind numbing?
Participating in the latest craze
Simple lack of a conscience
Sinking deeper in our demise
Zombies remain unconscious
Drowning within their own lies
Tears fall from high above
Conflict is burning thermal

A wealthy man’s twisted dream

Simple lack of a conscience

Sex trafficking is very real and dark and should be addressed. The difficult topics seem to get swept under the carpet more often than not.
Thanks for sharing. It's spot on.

Very good stuff. It's good to be aware that social media and the like are doing what you're written here. It's getting worse with each generation too. I like your rhyming and your clean presentation, and very vivid and clear message. This one isn't an innuendo, as it's right to the point, yet remains abstract and creative enough, given what it's talking about. Good job.
