Social Justice

by blurryvision

Isn't about the hatred of another person Isn't about screaming opinions at the top of your lungs Isn't about attacking others Social Justice Is about standing in the middle of a crowded room and shouting what's right as they shout what's wrong Words flowing Blood pumping Screaming about Baltimore and Ferguson White people crying wolf while blacks cry fear Social Justice Is the construct that is refused because it's right And we know it's right But refuse to believe it in all of its glory
