Poetry: Social injustice

by Matthew J. Geiger

Created on: May 10, 2010

Sin


To be born under dim stars is to sin

A sin greater than murder or rape,

As thieves and assassins live more free,

Takers of innocence hold less burden

In a world where law values salt greater

Paladins may throw copper in the streets

But they keep charity for their own ranks

Even at the cost of beauty lost,

They chance not the anger of their gods,

To be poor is the greatest sin of all
