Pain1 - Poem
Why can't we speak on the pain?
Only on the gains.
Only on consumerism, followers and fame
Why is our truth a stain?
When did we become the ones to blame?
We’re supposed to be grateful
"Shut up, smile and don’t you dare turn hateful"
Can’t even complain
Pissing on us and telling us its rain
They tell us it's our fault
Again and again
All while they have gained
And gained and gained
They silence our pain
And we feel shame
We are not the ones to blame
We did not create the chains
For gold, grains and sugarcane
They hoard the wealth obtained
Through cheap labour its sustained
I despise the wealth that's bloodstained
So here's my poem on just sliver of my pain.
