War On Social Media
They watched the war on Facebook,
Then laughed at all the cat memes.
They watched the war on Twitter,
In 2 minute 20 second scenes.
They watched the war on TikTok,
Then recorded a viral dance craze.
They watched the war on Instagram,
Then scrolled through smiles of perfect days.

The conflict in Ukraine will be conducted in the full glare of the social media age. Live streams of battles and attacks, instant video uploads of the aftermath. It is horrifying and unimaginable. Strength and unity and peace to Ukraine 🇺🇦 , and to the peace loving Russians who protested on the streets of Moscow, St.Petersburg and across Russia, risking arrest.
Great poem! Indifference seems to prevail nowadays. We must stand up for our rights. Peace, freedom and democracy must be preserved.
