A tragedy happens
in your part of the world
and
you get angry
because people are continuing
to post funny memes
and happy content
on social media.
Because, of course,
they’re doing that.
They could be half a planet
away from your tragedy.
And I would bet
big dollars
you didn’t stop posting
funny memes
when a child starved to death
halfway around the world.
(Because children, unfortunately,
starve
to death every dang day
in this harsh world.)
It is the WORLD wide web.
The entire planet
is using the internet
and many of the social media platforms.
Don’t judge people
for being happy.
