Woolen Hats and Wind Nets

Location

Who is the minority?

Definitions are skewed

When those who can speak

Suffocate the mute.

The Speakers pull the hats down

Over their faces.

The wool keeps them warm,

And it's easy for them to

To ignore the ramifications

Of their injustice.

But watch out for the cliff.

They're walking and

They can't even see it.

What a comfortable hat.

 

Progress!

Nothing will stop

Mankind's conquest.

Pay ten million dollars

For a net

To catch the wind.

Keep telling yourself

It matters.

Go on thinking

You have earned your own life,

That you were born

Upon your request.

Have you forgotten

You were once a zygote?

Remove the hat,

I implore you.

It's not too late.
