Us. vs. Them: You'll Find Them

Us. vs. Them: You'll Find Them

A Poem by Carly_Ruth
"

On poverty and welfare.

"

You’ll find them in divided countries

In the midst of war

Bound by oppression

 

You’ll find them across the seas

Held by the chains of poverty

Subjected to persecution

Detained by discrimination

 

You’ll find them in your country

Hidden by deception

Burdened by the American Dream

 

You’ll find them in your community

Unnoticed and forgotten

Stigmatized by stereotypes

 

You’ll find them down street

Secluded and detached

From your high class society

 

You’ll find them

They are there

Slaves

Trapped by the ideologies

Of Us vs. Them

 

You’ll find them

Because they are us

And we are them

 

Human.
