Lives matter not

New Poem Alert!

This poem is trying to express my feelings about all those "social justice protests" ranging from anti CAA stir, to George Floyd. The essence is, nobody cares about the mob, and most certainly not those who instigate them to go on a violent rampage. If you think that social media warrior actually cares about you, you are sorely mistaken. All they care about, is their reach. And likes/shares/comments on their post. Or maybe just the political agenda of the party they support.

Read on!

Lives Matter Not

Lives matter not,
be it Dalits', Muslims' or Black.
Lies are all that matter,
and yes, white is the new black.

Lives matter not,
be it Brahmins', Hindus' or white,
Agenda matters, propaganda peddles
and no peddler cares about your rights.

Lives matter not,
Hashtags and twitter trends do
Burning shops and butchering cops is just,
Anything, everything to satisfy the violent lust.

Lives matter not,
Guns and knives do
You may hate, detest, even lynch
If it's fair game (1), justifying it is a cinch (2).

Lives matter not,
Being an online activist does
Social media is the new arena, twitter fights the new war,
Only matters that we trump the other, not what we fighting for.

Lives matter not,
they never did.
Behind the façade that is social justice,
the hypocrite's intentions hid.

Footnote-

1. Fair game- Concept of fair game in sects is that an individual can be harmed within the law of the sect, if they do anything against the sect. They are called "fair game". Like the concept of kaffirs.

2. Cinch- Something sure or easy.
