Social Justice

Social Justice Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. I am an American I just want fair and just treatment wanting my fellow man and government to represent, me fairly A measured explicit and tacit terms for the distribution of wealth, opportunities for personal activity and social privileges this is social justice fairly I am black-African American I just want fair and just treatment wanting my fellow man and government to represent, me fairly I profess Christ in my life I am not ashamed to tell my boss or my job religious discrimination retail and governmental confinements work on required days Or your fired just want a right to be respected fairly There are four types of justice Distributive, procedural, restorative and retributive. I just want to be equally representative child labor, miss-cradled Racism, still hating for the color of our skins education, teach the same have the same contents of books Shelter/housing, all should have a descent place affordable place to live Bullying, corruption jealous ashamed people sorrowful wanting power over you Medicine, disabled people I must miss some meals sell my used car to afford poverty I control but yet my governmental task masters really control I am a Christian Not ashamed to tell you or the government I just want fair and just treatment wanting my fellow man and government to represent, me fairly Economic justice is a component of social justice It's a set of moral principles I need equal opportunity created for a sufficient material foundation upon which to have a dignified, productive, and creative life beyond economics. to represent, me fairly Racism, violence in schools, drug abuse Unemployment, Hunger and unfair labor conditions Main reason we're in this Is because of individual free-choice process rarely I am human caught in this mess Called social justice? 03/29/18 Social Justice free verse - Poetry Contest Sponsored by:John Hamilton
