Majority Fools

Poetic critique of systemic injustice

By Hannah AlexanderPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

What's good for the goose

Is good for the gander

Wrap my neck in a noose

From all that damn slander

What is good for one

Is not good for all

Different lives are spun

Before we even start to crawl

I can talk and talk

Until I'm blue in the face

But your guidelines are chalk

That you refuse to erase

Singular in mind

Solitary in view

Keep on being confined

By everything you thought you knew

A line in the sand

So easy to cross

But your high demands

Mean endless lives are lost

But we have this system

That's confounding to me

It leaves so many victims

So much for "land of the free"

But this is what happens

When you go by majority rules

Peoples lives are blackened

Because the majority are fools
