Worth of a Soul

It's like a news feed, but with beats and bass - alarm woven into the rhythm. The scenes are like something out of someone else's life, but they're too familiar: screens flash headlines, adults say “everything will be okay,” and kids learn to carry bulletproof vests in their backpacks. The music offers no comfort - it stings, argues, and pulls at the heartstrings, turning the helpless “that's just the way the world is” into a blow to the nerves. The irony is as bitter as morning coffee without sugar, but it invigorates more than one would like.
