Who knew that you would become this
when you had spent years lingering
around mathematician musings,
lurking on the pages of
disgruntled musicians
or aiding the clarity that
a dependent list-maker
displays to the world.
Now, you are something entirely different.
A social beacon
in the never-ending whirlpool
of silent change-makers
and restless teenagers
and 140-character junkies.
A ploy
to the youth that is so
apparently misunderstood
and to the crowd-followers
who need a life raft
motivating them to stay afloat
in this technological province.
A statement
from the angst ridden
purposefully ironic
naysayers
and the carefree
Facebook word-vomiters.
You are a shapeshifter of identities
and a marker up to the discretion of its user.
Ode to the hashtag.
