Best Inequality Poems

Some children come into the school building dancing, singing, hopping, bursting with uninhibited glee.
They exchange giddy, happy stories about their day at the mall, dropping name brand names,
Showing off their glittery light-up shoes, and light up back packs.  They tell about their doting grandparents...

Is it not time yet to end this food bank life

And desperate youth killing each others with a knife

Short of support, help and education

Short of understanding it's not that complicated

They don't don't see equality in this society

What people see is the have and have nots

What...

Who am i to be treated like this
Isn't this the only world 
A world Where you and i were created
A world full of the same creatures 
And yet full of inequality and injustice
What is wrong with the world?
Every time we try to bring justice when...

inequality lies
not in the dirt streets of a foreign country
or in stories of the past
but today
but in the hearts of women who work and work
to balance
what other women take
that isn't theirs
those bloodsucking women
who learned that victim game
and never made a contribution
to their own lives
yes they
skate
sickness...

What gives anyone one the right
to deem others inequal by just one glance
or sight?

Trampling on their rights as if they were
nonexistent, just to prove a point or
make a statement?

The world is still divided in black and white,
forgetting all the other variables that exist,
refusing to give...

One-eighty billion dollars one man has, they say.
It is outrageously obscene when once you know
half the global populace earns two bucks a day. 

Due to lack of healthcare; they have no way to pay;
ten-thousand people every day will die, although
one-eighty billion dollars one man has,...

I have never been arrested,
abused, discarded, neglected.
All because someone protested,
it’s my color they detested.

I have always been protected, 
accepted, respected, vested.
Civil rights never molested,
my freedom never contested.

No one has ever suggested,
because I’m black I’m now suspected.
To be so badly infected,
that it cannot be corrected.

Let this...

Did you know there are more than 20,000 known species of bees, but only 5 percent are social bees? Only 5 percent allow you to get to know them. They’re minding their business, building their nests, and you interrupt their day to tell them, “You’re...

The greed of money, has created so much pollution
and overconsumption, of the earth’s material resources
as money has blurred their vision, for the right solution
to solve all our problems, with the right logical thinking

All of this has given us, a lot of health problems
because it has...

For my Mother 

We would nurture hands building pedestal.
What man nurtured women, matriarchal?

Procreation, Liberation, Choose one.
Some things we'll never fully understand.

Who made the moon as mirror for the sun?
The heart of men in darkness was outdone.

The blind man saw poison of jealousy.
Darkness and blinding light...

Oh, so macho, breathtaking,he!
Unlike an innocent orange on a tree.

He looked perfect in his mugshot  and orange suit.
“And chose plagiarized poems to post, to boot?*

The crusader rabbits here are still licking the felon's boot.
Then howl, when into a mall he deadly shoots?

No, no ,absolutely...

Tenebrous night steals autumn days,
Invading ink subtracts the breath of light,
With tarnished mingling edge,
With dusty dusk’s laments.

Tenebrous night of immutable grave,
Infiltrating melanin loots the golden glow,
Where criminal and crucifix sink,
Where dream and delirium drown.

We are merely complexions of being
With frivolous hearts,
Chalking pigment lines to cleave
The...

I sigh at bridges
knowing the trolls
drive their Mercedes
over the homeless
beneath.

Patina lady, with torch in hand,
bastion of freedom in a promised land.
Now perish the principles upholding your base 
by the internment of children in a zoo like place.

Patina lady when you were young
homeless from many shores did come
and gathered grateful at your hem,
American dream in...

I would fly up high on whispering wings
unseen, unheard, so way above the cloud
and look upon the beggars and the kings
some poor, and others with great wealth endowed

I would fly up high on whispering wings
to see a multi-billionaire, so proud
while yet another for their supper...
