" Giants in Jeans Sonnet 22

If the world is messed up,
We may not be the cause of it.
But if we die leaving it the same,
We are nothing but bags of wind.
Society wasn't built on equity,
Nor was it built on principles of justice.
All was founded on exploitation of the lowly,
And some modern apes still can't get over it.
Till today the rich talk about equality,
While flying in their private jets.
Things get even more hypocritical and wacky,
When they talk about climate change.
However, we can still make this world better,
We just have to actually start living simpler. "
