The Careful Takeover of Cancel Culture

Since the inception of Hollywood, tabloids reigned supreme
Exposing celebrity scandals: true or otherwise rumored ones
Nowadays, people exposed themselves with their own words
Revealing character flaws that made people wonder
If they deserved to be famous or should be unemployed
Shocking and cringeworthy actions that made you think twice
No longer trusting their manufactured image
Rumors of bad workplace behavior and inappropriate tweets
Littered the entertainment news landscape
Especially when those with poor taste stream their thoughts live
Wondered why we made some of those people famous
The past few years filled with problematic souls
Doing questionable things that made you wonder
Whether it was on purpose or built on haphazardness
Hard to say which of the two was worse: intent or clumsiness
Okay, celebrities or any public figures needed to be exposed
Especially when actions illegal or caused harm to others
Those who simply put their foots in their mouths
Brush it off as a simple mistake the first few times
After that, best to be skeptical of any apology tours
Social media loved to put others on blast
Called them out on bad behavior to hold accountable
Justified to shine light on areas that needed the Vitamin D
Annoyed that this exposing didn't include proper education
Ways to break bad habits and narrow thinking
Breaking the cycle of poor judgment and stereotypical views
Once and for all; so that it wouldn't be repeated
Instead of playing the blame game all the time
People need to find more effective strategies
To curb the foot in mouth disease that many suffer from
Those with criminally bad behavior a different story
Should stay off social media and focus on getting help
Learning to examine themselves within
Shattering the repeated nature of the hamster wheel
Found themselves locked in for years
Realized that Rome wasn't built that quickly
Not everyone can redeemed
Some simply irredeemable no matter what efforts
Made to save their souls or professional image
Closing the door on those that no longer need spotlight
Shined on their careless and callous nature
Time to focus on those who can do good
Not those who waste energy.
