… is defined by likes, re-posts, re-tweets, sharing, comments, etc., right? What if we removed that ability. How would that change things? Would people still post, tweet, bend over backwards (literally) to take the best footage? Would individuals be as quick to record themselves helping, or not helping someone, if there was no way to share the experience with others?
Eyes are watching me be me,
But am I being me for the sake of them – or me?
What if the crowd could not see?
How would I portray myself to be?
Hair up or down;
Smile or frown?
Look to the left or right;
Squeeze, suck, make it look tight.
I CAN’T BREATHE!
Watched the fight from last night.
AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!
Leave the picture colorful or edit it black and white.
Let’s take an intermission:
Focus on that vision…
Without sight,
Would you still want to fight?
Everyone’s lookin’.
But would everyone look if they could only listen?
Intermission complete –
Get back to your seat.
Eyes are watching me be me,
But am I being me for the sake of them – or me?
What if the crowd could not see?
How would I portray myself to be?
Strong or weak?
MUSCLES ON FLEEK!
The rest of me is on meek.
Tell the world half the story
on Maury.
YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!
Ask State Attorney Angela Corey.
It’s not a movie; this is real life.
GLORY!
How’s your vision?
Getting a little clearer now?
How’s your vision?
When the crowd can’t share,
And they could care less about what you do with your hair.
When your expressions mean nothing,
And the posts that you lean on are cemented with bluffing.
Can you see through the smoke of the Ls you been puffing?
Can you see?
THROUGH THE FIRE!
Reflection is fading
To the picket lines and blockading.
Parade Raiding,
Masquerade Crusading,
War trading, degrading and hating.
Devastating blood wading.
Escalating.
The selfie is fading…
Stop counting.
START INNOVATING!
