Doomscroll

Doomscroll
Why do we unwind the doomscroll?
Do we really want the world to end
Sad trolls why do we act as Satan's foot patrols?
Doomscroll instead of writing to a friend

Eye roll, there's this need to chase the ambulance
Doomfools rubbernecking til the end
Poor trolls, liveblogging the apocalypse
As though the world needed us to end

Last night I imagined I was Karl Kraus
So bright, writing squibs that bloodied minds
I woke to find I was just a doomtroll
Doomscroll through the last days of mankind

Doom me, if you do you cannot love me
Who loves with the eschaton in mind?
We're all complicit in the doomscroll
Eyeballs advertising needs to find

Death trolls
Why do we unwind the doomscroll?
Who knows when the world will really end
Dice rolls on the race to the apocalypse
Doomscroll instead of writing to a friend
