Injustice Smokescreens Poem by John Sensele

Injustice Smokescreens



By dint of determination, sprint
Towards the prize you deserve to serve
With distinction folks and blokes who hint
At self reliance with nerves of steel and verve.

Equal opportunities and vanities squint
Against one another in folks' quest
To carve a niche under the sun where they mint
Gold, silver or bronze as they toil in their nest.

Folks moil and toil to boil a meagre
Living in economic scenarios that oppress
The vulnerable and impress the venerable too eager
To amass masses of cash and exploit the poor under duress.

While fair play and fair pay displays appear
Like dead statues on statutes, in reality a smokescreen
Teeming with injustice and armistice for kleptomaniacs fly clear
Of any attempt at equity as hearts fast grow mean.
