They scoff and sneer at everything

Suffering and pain

Elicits an asinine grin

Cries for help

Lead to laughing faces

Suggesting how to make things better

Is apparently hilarious

When did it become trendy

To think only of yourself

It’s nothing new, of course

But never so blatant as now

When did it turn into a badge of honour

To laugh at the suffering,

Spit on the dying

Dance on the graves of the murdered.

Little laughing faces

All over the internet

Perfect examples

Of human stupidity

Mindless expressions

Of human contempt
