Dear people

A socio-critical poem

Dear people

Dear wonderful people

Shame on you!

For those of you who still pretend

I’m going to give you a clue

 

How is it to sleep on your gold?

The only thing for you to hold

In the blackness of the night

Gripping on the cold coins tight

Like a dragon on its treasure

Seems the only way to measure

A man’s worth

 

Dear people

Dear amazing people

How can you?

I know you like to look away

But guess what! You’re f*****g due

 

I’m not going to keep silent

while you keep acting violent

Hiding behind your businesses

Gagging truth-talking witnesses

Hating on working-class heroes

By demanding your black zero,

Capitalists!

 

Dear people

Dear terrific people

It’s enough!

High society of the world!

Today, uncalled for’s acting tough

 

You are so very immoral

Absolutely undeniable

People starve in front of your eyes

Can’t you hear their painful cries?

Or do you simply just don’t care

Say one more time life wasn’t fair

Well, you are life.

 

Author's Note

I tried to write something a little more critical. I'd love to hear your opinions about it.
