We live
In a system
Of inequality
So utterly brainwashed
Into believing our failures
Stem from inability
To operate within the system
Not the system itself
But what choice do we have?
Who are we
To question
The very system
That raised us?
That fed us?
That educated us?
How can we possibly
Step outside
The paradigm
Of our reality?
