Scroll, Scroll, Scroll

By Keeley Bernard

People die,

mothers cry,

but I scroll, scroll, scroll

Fires burn,

tornadoes turn,

but I scroll, scroll, scroll

A nation suffers,

could try to help each other,

but I scroll, scroll, scroll

Feels unreal,

I forget how to feel,

because I scroll, scroll, scroll
