injustice

there is so much injustice in this world because of status, colour, race and power
those who have Lord itnover those who don't.the way the guards talk you about the foreign construction workers
the way the nurses talk to domestic helpers 
the way blacks are talked to by whites in some films and books ( and real life) 
the way poor are talked to by the rich at times
just look around and see who walks how.the working lady starts across the street in tiny shorts confident as he'll
that she has a place in this world 
and the helper shuffles across carrying three to four grocery bags 
never looking up
not sure if she is entitled to occupy any space at all
and what am I going to do about this
open up students eyes for one thing
