Sensationalism

It's much easier to follow,

listen to the chorus of people,

than to stress our own brain,

and explore, multiple perspectives. 

Starting from our families, 

to friends and colleagues, 

growing up in communities,

we develop biases, favoritism. 

Ably supported by social media,

feeding contents through algorithms,

getting addicted to mindless scrolling, 

we become opinionated and assertive. 

Conflicts replaces sincere discussions,

abuses were hurled, against apologies, 

voices of reason, forced into silence,

by playing victim or nursing pride. 

Sensationalism...within its noise,

we fall victim, to the narratives, 

without applying our rationale, 

using nuances, in our understanding. 

So, let us pause, listen to others,

consider their views before we proceed,

when we examine, everyone's side,

we can rely on, our logical mind.
