Raise your voice, swipe it up

Change the world with just a thumb

⸻

Marches move in endless feeds

Placards made of GIFs and memes

We rage in comment sections deep

Every hashtag’s a battlecry

Echoed once, then scrolled aside

Justice trending, justice asleep

⸻

Screens are windows,

But nobody’s out

We tap for change

But whisper our doubt

⸻

Scrolling protest,

Fighting for a cause I barely know

Raising banners in the dark,

Just to let them go

We rally in the blue light,

Slogans fade before the dawn

Scrolling protest,

War is trending till it’s gone

⸻

Armchairs lined like barricades

Hearts and likes replace the parades

We chant in silence,

Share our fears

Photos filtered for effect

Dissent is subject to neglect

History written in souvenirs

⸻

Scrolling protest,

Fighting for a cause I barely know

Raising banners in the dark,

Just to let them go

We rally in the blue light,

Slogans fade before the dawn

Scrolling protest,

War is trending till it’s gone

⸻

If you want to march,

Do it with your feet

Not just fingerprints

On a losing streak

⸻

Scrolling protest,

Fighting for a cause I barely know

Raising banners in the dark,

Just to let them go

We rally in the blue light,

Slogans fade before the dawn

Scrolling protest,

War is trending till it’s gone

⸻

Till it’s gone…
