Class Conscious

We make them monumental in our minds
Assertively attest: “They’re not our kind.

How dare they go disguised in human form!”
How dare they speak, to criticize the norm?
To suggest some claim to what I’ve mined,
refined to specs our kind defined as wealth?
How dare these filthy beasts expect my help,
relief for degrading and disease, consequences
of our industry?
