Never there

Your country is going down the hole

You post pictures of cute dogs

We are all inside a time machine

Going back to the Dark ages

You're sharing videos of fluffy cats 

The poor are losing the little chance they had

Women are disappearing from spaces they'd finally started to share

Students are being beaten 

Struggling for the bit that should be naturally theirs

And you? 

You are there 

With your pictures by the pool 

Your forced fake whitened smile 

Your Instagram full of pictures of your drinks

You don't give a damn if the ship sinks

They are telling us not to think

They are telling us not to care

They are telling us all

And some of us are fighting back

But you don't count 

You never counted

You were never there
