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.
