“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.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission
