A hashtag wasn't enough

This time
We 'fought' for our forefathers land on Twitter
We demanded the land through Facebook
Online forums using hashtags, emojis and memes
What did we get?

Did we want discussions
public hearings
And debates?
Is that what we wanted?

Our reality is we're still landless, 
jobless and powerless
Surely a hashtag wasn't enough

A hashtag was not enough to emancipatethe life of a black man
An emoji cannot fully express how we feel
A like and share, retweet
Regram and repost
Those might spread awareness,
I can't say the same about consciousness
