Morbid curiosity

An accident occurs

Do we help at all?

Or do we get our phones out

Snap a little picture of the scene

Never realising that’s obscene,

Post it on Facebook or Twitter

For everyone to see,

Rack up some like and shares

It’s just hard to believe,

That you still call yourself

Some kind of human being

You’ve lost all sense of humanity,

Slow down the car

Is what you silently scream,

At the carnage of a motorway scene,

Can you make out what’s happening?

Disappointed when they put up screens

It’s only morbid curiosity,

That is how we rationalize everything

It’s not it just fucking obscene,

And the fact many others do it

Don’t change a thing,

It’s still so fucking wrong to me.
