Candy Floss Concerns

We make political statements with cupcakes 
While half the world burns 
They can’t rebuild their broken lives 
With our candy floss concerns 

They can’t survive on marshmallow dreams 
Or our pastel-painted apathy 
Grasping profits on the back of their pain 
With yet another slogan T- 

These causes that go viral 
When suffering is trending 
We daren’t lift an actual finger 
Hashtag World Is Ending 
Here today and gone tomorrow 
Some celeb’s marriage is rending 
They’re just as soon forgotten 
For what the algorithm’s sending 

Our sugar-coated platitudes 
Won’t stop the wars from killing 
Stop 
Just stop 
Why won’t it stop? 
The outlook’s downright chilling.
