That reaction of yours!!!

Do you really care?

They come, they haunt… they go…

You see, you react. Ohh wait, do you??

Yes, you do!

You do candle marches; post tweets; use hashtags;

Yes, you care!

You care about your social image.

Don’t like this right, do you?

But my dear friend that is the truth,

At the end you are just a mere puppet

Of what is known as the social network!!

For you it’s a chance to go with the flow,

For them it’s just another show.

What did you do?

You still looked at her the same way

A victim… Didn’t you?

But never changed your way of looking at her

Cause for you it was her fault not theirs

But what if it was you or someone of yours.

No matter how much you react,

They again come back to act.

Let not your reaction go in vain,

Cause at the end it’s about someone’s pain.
