Just who are these oppressors

They keep banging on about?

Using words - if words could talk,

That would stamp their feet and shout!

 

Just who are they oppressing

And what do they hope to gain?

Do they oppress like tyrants -

Or is it necessary pain? 

 

Do we invent our demons

For each imagined slight?

Do we need an enemy

To put us in the right?

 

Are our alleged oppressors

A reflection of ourselves??

Are we busy creating guilt

Like builders stacking shelves?

 

Just who are these oppressors

That they're so quick to blame?

Is it that they're just like us

In everything but name?
