On being a "social justice warrior..."

Unfollowed,

Unfriended,

Blocked,

Stalked,

Ghosted,

Ostracized,

Ridiculed...,

Forever

"Woke."

So many remain silent

Afraid of retaliation,

Blamed and punished-

Abused

As messengers

Of something larger.

Perennial scapegoats

We see

Elephants

Everywhere.

"But what I'd like to know

Is could a place like this exist so beautiful Or do we have to take our wings and fly away To the visions in our minds?"-

"Visions," Stevie Wonder
