Gavin Williams Poet Rhyme

EGG SHELLS

What has happened 
To the masses
Trying to pretend 
We're put into classes

Does it really matter 
Who you partner with? 
To whom you have a natter? 
What advice you give? 

Are all lives the same? 
Don't you want peace? 
Maybe no one's to blame
For past atrocities 

These egg shells are weak
Careful where you walk
They act so unique 
sensitivity as you talk

To quote Raye the singer
In her classic hit
Society is an index finger
Pushed against your lips

Afraid to speak
Afraid to post a view
To walk the streets
With attacks from the few
