Trend Quotes Quotes

“Justice is not a hashtag (The Sonnet)

Using a hashtag doesn't make you an activist,
Social media trend is not herald of social justice.
Justice comes when each lives with accountability,
Not when you play pretend justice because it is trendy.
A true activist spends their life working for others,
Occasionally they indulge in some self-charging activity.
Insta-activists spend their life drooling for attention,
Humanitarian crisis is just an opportunity for publicity.
Human rights violation is just a hashtag for most,
So they keep up with the trend by voicing phony endorsement.
Once the trend fades 99 percent of those voices disappear,
Until the next crisis comes, and the vultures hover again.
Violation of human rights is only violation if it is trending.
Society that measures social justice by social media trend,
is nothing but a bunch of hypocritical, bottom-licking ding-a-ling.”

“Be careful . These days people are choosing to support a trend , Instead of choosing to support you . Don’t be misled by thinking they are supporting you. They can turn on you any day. Always do you and do what makes you happy . Don’t do things to please people . Don’t choose to turn your back on other people, because of other people. Don't choose to mistreat other people, because you want to please certain people.”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos
