Good vs. Evil
Good vs. Evil
This world is a complicated battle of black & white
of dark & light
Whether it is wrong or right
So what’s the right thing to do
How do I know my way out of the loop
When our lives feel like a swoosh
We pay for your actions that are brute
Stop giving us debuts
Stop covering the truth
When we know it’s you
We trusted you
But all you do is rob the colors of their hues
Rob the children of their youth
How do we bind
When our society is one great divide
Subtracting their love & going online
Adding algorithms to take over their lives
So tell me how do we bind
When we’re dimming our own light
I don’t know about you but I’m tired of this fight
It’s not right
Dull colors that once were bright
Are losing their shine
I wonder what will become of this life

This poem is about social media affecting our lives, while we may not see it, social media takes a toll on us teens & takes away from our youth on a daily basis. Think about how much time we spend on TikTok, Instagram, etc (Yes, me included)... It's time we're taking away from our day, it makes us not feel as good or as confident in ourselves. Whether it's social media controversy, drama/tea pages or people ruining other people's images & starting illegal & immoral trends that violate others belongings & people in general. My goal is to spread awareness & start more productivity because there is a world out there, believe it or not; now I'm not saying to stop using your phone because we all need some social media time but also start doing other things outside of your phone as well, take time for yourself & even your day.
