You’ve already wished upon me

Desperate and alone, notification ringtones

Desperate and alone, phones make the call on who is a star

The swarm so thick it blackened the horizon

Virtue signals blinded but it was already too late

They manufactured outrage on tweets and filtered pictures till they’d compete but no one marked them self safe that day

The deafening hum drowned out screams as the sky went pitch black

The only stars to be seen were our own right before the darkness devoured

Crucified and immortalized

Through social media, they survived
