We Are Society Poem by Diya Bhudia

We are society,
we will shout at you when you speak up,
we will surround you if you dare to escape,
we will strangle you if you stain our name.

We are society,
we can pick on you, confuse you and destroy you.
we set such norms that will kill you.
we can make you, hate you.

We are society,
we will make you hate your stretchmarks, acne and fat.
we will condemn you for your battle scars.
we will belittle you and call you crazy.

We are society,
we hate the other race,
we hate the younger age,
we hate the other sex.

We are society,
we shall pick on you, confuse you and destroy you.
we shall pick on you for your flaws.
we shall confuse you with our double standards,
we shall destroy you with the force of the majority.

We are society,
ruthless, but hope you enjoy your stay.
We shall check in to see if you follow our laws.
Welcome to Society.
