Social Justice Sarah
Karen of injustice
Semantics Matter
Don't slip up
Same view but
One word, inflection
That doesn't sit right in her parrot brain
She'll stereotype you hard boy
Attempt to make you feel the pain
That she has likely never known
With nothing of much consequence in her life
She latches onto others suffering
Hail the conquering hero
Accolades for breakfast
Smug, delusion of self satisfaction for dinner
Praise her white, straight skin
For feigning care about the rainbow
Those she sees beneath her
Better give her thanks
Don't they know she's saving them?
Saying "You aren't strong enough to do it yourself."
She doesn't see them as her equal
She sees them as starving dogs
Puts out just enough kibble to feel just
But no more
She wants them beneath her
If they rose up, what would be left for her to do?
Words are enough
Hash tags for days son
Petty cash no prob
Might make a pretty sign to hold high
With glitter to catch the sun
And with it
More attention
But her doors locked tight
Bolted tight each night
Afraid of the same people
She rallies for
Afraid equality
Might actually happen.

Wow!! It's hard to find words for this one. A combination of empathy and disdain coming from the same person...who is likely unaware of the contradiction.
