*Dedicated to Xiao Zhan, a Chinese actor and performer that warmed my heart with his professionalism and kindness. Not enough people like him on earth.*

Darkness has eclipsed
A bright heart
Gift from the heavens
The evil green matrix of numbers
Words suppressing faces

Bullies calling themselves fans
Freedom of expression blocked
On one side
While on the other
More venom towards a boy
With no power to control strangers

What was done was not right
But how can you, all of you
Keyboard warriors regardless of reason
Mock, attack, disgust, abuse
One solitary person stuck in the middle?

Where is the justice?
The internet has become
A gladiator arena for masses
Thirsty for blood
Despite innocence

Explain to the rest of the
Flabbergasted community
What could he have done,
One way or another?
You expect him to be psychic?

To cause this kind of ruckus when the entire
World is fighting a disease, is pathetic
Enough!

Fans are there to support their people
No more, no less
Stop following him in the airports
He's not marrying you
Let the poor boy breathe

Everyone should be banding together
Not ripping each other to shreds
We are after all, one world, one people
Waiting for the day when that precious
Smile from the soul
Returns, light and rested again

Keep reaching for the stars
There's a massive international community
That has your back
We fight for peace, health, and love
Standing shoulder to shoulder
A mountain of hope

You're strong, Xiao Zhan
You got this!
