Nowadays...(Inspired By Faux Identity Politics) Poem by DM W

Nowadays some people seem to like to play
The race card; the gender identity card
While real injustice appears to slip away
From view. To me, as a political bard,
It's still really all about the class one serves.
In my opinion, the rest of it merely
Skims the surface of things. We should have the nerve
To tackle the root of the problem. You see
There are still rich, powerful elites who prey
On the poor and oppressed; regardless of race,
Creed, gender or age. Nothing will ever change
Unless we look behind images and face
Reality. Marx was prescient and right,
For we 'workers of the world' need to unite.
