Hashtags
Hashtags control the media
Young and old
Information in your hands
True or false
You believe it
Hashtags control movements
How you see aspects of them
It all depends on the hashtag you use to search
Convincing you to think one way or another
About identity, about society, about race
#Blacklivesmatter
The movement itself
Around the world
Not just a fad or a trend
You can do it
Create your own hashtag
Share your knowledge
Have a voice
#Blacktivist
An activist for black lives matter
Fighting for their rights
#BlackPride
Happy with what they’ve accomplished
Wanting to do even more
#BlackUnity
Everyone stands together
Not separate but as one
Hashtags can do that
Show what the people using them stand for
Sides and stories
A network of people
Real people
Who are trying to make a statement
Make a change
Hashtags can do that
Controlling the media
Both young and old
Changing opinions one by one
For good or for bad
True or false
Hashtags have that impact
#Blacktivist

In my english class, Sophomores for Social Action, my class and I were sudying the Black Lives Matter movement. When searching the hastags mentioned in my piece there are controversial outcomes. This piece was inspired by the social media that controls not only the Black Lives Matter Movement, but many other aspects of our world today.
