DEATH BY SELFIES

Tears froze on my face
With strokes of misfortunes
Unable to boot up.

Captions are trending
Stilled images are statements.
A time when the number of followers is equal to popularity.

I saw a man crushed by a car
Passers-by rushed to capture the moment.
Watched him bleed to death
While their feeds trend.

Youngsters stood on the rail
Just to capture a moving train
But grounded to the floor.

Life is now a race of selfies
Daring death to a race
Ignoring little act of kindness
In exchange for likes and followers.

Sort:  

It’s called natural selection!
If ur dumb you die
It’s a process that’s been valid for entire history of human life and animals life alike. Natural selection at its best.

okay but our youngsters are doing it for social media fame.

Technically not a selfie though 🤣

Who wants to take such risks for just some likes...it's really sad :(

My childhood friends took risks like that all the time, (and they didn't even get any likes back then), some are resting in the graveyard because of stunts like that... Boys will always try to do stuff like that it is in our genetic code... =(

Boys can be boys..but don't they think about their families before doing this..
They need to consider what they are leaving behind...

Things like untreated "ADHD" in kids leads to lack of impuls control and risk taking behaviour, luckily now people/parents/teachers are more aware about these conditions and there are medications that can help...

Kids that pull stunts like this just act they don't evaluate the risk first...

That's so sad...it's good measure's are being taken :)

Yeah the whole ADHD thing is a bit controversial.
But I guess it is better to "drug-up"/"medicate" these kids then to let them run amok, hurting themselves or others...

True... totally agree with you :)

its not only boys act my Dear.. females are the most selfie takers..

Its not only boys

Dude...it is not just kids. You have not lived until you have read the account of a group of grown ass people (that's plural) leaving an armored jeep to tale selfies in close proximity to a pride of lions. A pride dude. Like one lion is not quite enough. Yes. It turned out just how you think it did. When I learned it was not an isolated incident and that these things are on the rise...I stopped reading. Just can't make this shit up!
