Not notably famous

We've stopped speaking up,
because nobody listens
How many need to die
                                before things change?

The death of one causes
media uproar for 5 days,
 and then we all forget

and

the silence returns

The deaths of the unheard
            cause no frenzy
you see, friend, they were not
                                               notably famous,
                                               or connected,
to have been worth
changing profile pictures for.
