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
