The Feed You Trust

You opened it for news. You got something else.
You opened it for friends. You got strangers.
You opened it to learn. You learned to be afraid.
You did not pick any of it. Something picked it for you.

A choice was made before you arrived.
Outrage reaches you faster than truth.
The world shrinks to the shape of what keeps you scrolling.
You log off angry at people who don’t know your name.

The feed you trust is a stranger’s hand on your eyes.
What it shows you, you become.
