Just Us

KNOCK KNOCK!! Who's there? It's Just Us... Just Us, seeking justice, There's been a miscarriage, and we've decided to judge this. And, the system? Well, we're not sure that we can trust Sys. KNOCK KNOCK!! Who's there? Just Us, still waiting on the wheels of JUSTICE! Just Us, seeking justness, Just Us, being blocked by political MESS, that was left in the political bed, (after your political.. uhhh..NESS) At the risk of being crude, it looks like everyones being screwed, like everyones in a mood, like everyone has a tude. And, we can't help but wonder, will it EVER REALLY MATTER to you? When you still have YOUR sons and daughters, when they can walk down the street and not fear a slaughter, when they can turn on the tap, and not fear the water, when they can turn on the tv, and not see their mother, crying over their dead father! So, for you, there's no emergency. Not your children, so, there is NO URGENCY... Its Just Us. Its not your people. Its not your problem, because, It's Just Us.

This is so cool. I usually shy from social conscience poems for their stridency but here you craft makes the repeated motif build and fortify itself rather than rage emptily.
