Was before the aftermath that violence was the #1 conversation
After the aftermath the internet became a place of dedication
Or is it a place to prostitute yourself to the social life
Where we could talk to strangers that we never seen in daylight
The movement of “Black lives matters”
And another tragedy death is the main idea of the world’s chatter
Let’s not forget we are saying “ Stop the violence”
Crooked edges because there will never be a moment of silence
At the same time promoting kids in videos with guns
Did we forget to fight against reality that gives power to the slums

You’ve accomplished to say so much in a single stanza, great job. This constant battle to decipher reality from perception is widespread and many people have lost their moral compasses that help them distinguish from helpful and harmful, much of which is a byproduct of the ways people now interact on the Internet. Facebook sending out a global survey asking its users: “Is Facebook good for the world?” is alarming because it’s verification that sinister elements are present and manipulating the system. I hear you and I think you should keep spreading this awareness in your writing because you seem to have a clear sense in what’s going on.
I liked the last line the most because it’s something that seems so simple but is overlooked entirely. I also think your reference to ‘slums’ includes not only the uneducated poor (perpetuating crime/violence by ignoring them) but the policy makers who aren’t doing their part to ensure transparency and justice.
