We are a flash mob
Of negative proportions
Pockets of people
Selfish ambitions
Collaborating only if they can obtain the largest piece
We are a flash mob
Stopping progress
Implementing reversals of fortunes for the less fortunate
We are a flash mob
Striking over and over again
Shedding blood, tears, taking lives
Occupying streets for what purpose?
Homeless people have been occupying streets for centuries
and you still don’t care
We are a flash mob
One of destruction
Our ancestors weep in their graves
Our activists are in a state of unrest
Where have their efforts gone?
We are a flash mob
That never stops flashing
Negative actions like a strobe light on our future with an intoxicating bass beat
Distracting us from the truth
Deterring us from securing a room in Our Father’s mansion
We are a flash mob
We have created our own casualties of war
Pointing blame in every direction
except within ourselves
We are a flash mob
We have taken all that is great, beautiful and just grounded it into gravel
Blame terrorists, militant groups
But in the end they are we and we are they
We are a flash mob
Dissecting our communities, how can we achieve unity?
Abandoned children
Abandoned hopes
Abandoned dreams
Abandoned futures
Sadly, painfully…
We are a flash mob
