Social Justice Warrior

Petty things oft affects those who seldom understand its meaning.

It appears out of nowhere and strikes almost immediately, leaving behind a myriad casualty.

Whom to blame? Whom to berate? The naysayers repeat, till a response is heard, one that’s not quite what they seek.

Unsatisfied yet determined to be proven right, they come together to express their disgust.

Their voices reach earth’s every corner, spreading like an uncontrollable virus.

‘Unite! Unite! Unite!’ Is the message being sent, ‘Let’s Fight! Let’s Fight! Let’s Fight!’ Is what’s being heard.

No sooner than the last message was gone, out came rushing the voices of dissent.

Armed to the teeth, with their hands on the trigger, they released a barrage of hate on Twitter.

Hashtags and DMs to everyone they knew, followed by a petition on Change.org too.

The culprit who seem unfazed till now, didn’t even bother to comment or blog.

How could this be? They wanted to know, was their strategy wrong or was the enemy too strong?

New recruits were brought in, an armchair activist and a loud mouthed journalist.

They questioned, they argued, even threatened if wanted to.

The enemy didn’t budge and went about his way.

Till the maniacs joined in the foray.

Assaulting and wrecking everything in existence; the purpose of their fight lost in the rising tension.

Scared for his life and at his wits end, the enemy finally was seen raising the white flag.

The naysayers cheered while common sense jeered, as the culprit was taken away to spend his life in prison.

Justice was served but only to the fool, while the wise and the intellectuals could only fume.

The mockery was made and many memes popped up, when the entire world came to know what it was all about.
