Anoush Harrison-Jackson Poet Free verse

Responsibility

The system, di system
 Always the system, di system
 Always a victim
 Never taking responsibility, always a victim
 Failing to realize we contribute to the bureaucracy that holds one race superior and another inferior.
 The system, di system
 Always a victim, Never taking responsibility, always a victim
 Failing to realize we contribute daily to the oppression of the poor
 Giving a fish when we should be teaching to fish
 Putting band aid on sores that have festered.
 The system, di system, always a victim, never taking responsibility
 failing to realize we are a part of the system, di system...
