These days it's easy to accuse. It's easy to abuse
You can hide behind anonymity so there's nothing much to lose
These days some people are so vile - spreading so much hateful bile
There's an outlet for these comments that are really not worthwhile
From vicious scorn to revenge porn - it's a trial by social media
They'll make you wish you'd never been born - it's a trial by social media
Kids today grow up so fast in a world of social media
How long do you think you'd last in a trial by social media?
These days young people get so stressed, and some get so depressed
It's hard to cope with all the things they mentally ingest
These days there's bullying online - it happens all the time
Do we have to wait 'til kids self-harm before we draw the line?
Small minds are turned on others to make their own lives feel less small
Do they think about the consequence of what they do at all?
Some may think they're funny, but do they think of the effect
That their words may have on those whose reputations have been wrecked?
