Broken with Misinformation
The door is ajar.
She stepped over years of memories.
Shattered and crushed on the floor.
Off to the bedroom, sees nothing left
I watch troubled from across the street
As she breaks down crying,
wondering how it all came to this.
But I won't let fear control me,
Cameras have never gone up faster
I need to be prepared for any visitors
that may come unwanted.
I get a notification on my phone
Is it dangerous, or are they friendly?
Misinformation is a danger by itself.
It's hard to know the truth,
Safety comes with a cost.
Whether it is cameras, neighborhood safety apps,
I just want to be informed.
Packages go missing, houses get destroyed.
As I open the door to grab my package,
I feel reassured,
that this misinformation crisis won't affect me.
