Or so they say...

This is just another poem I had to write for my sociology class. Aparently my professor is a fan of poems and that is basically our homework in a nutshell: to write a poem on our understanding of the week's readings.

My sister really liked this one so I decided to leave it here too. So feel free to leave any comments or criticism.

Or So They Say

There is no problem, or so they say

As they turn a blind eye and simply walk away

Yet in the shadows they mutter and stare
“Look at that wretched, why should we care?”
They speak of injustice and how it’s unfair
And all the while thieving what they should rightfully share
When many are those who slave by the hour
They simply state, with faces sour
“It’s because of their gender!”
“It’s because of their race!”
“It’s because of them we face the problems we face!”
And so we realize, at the end of the day
There is no problem, or so they say.
