Receptive Listeners - Exploring Brokenness: Poetry on Pain, Anger, and Human Flaws

Receptive Listeners

She tells a group of
Receptive listeners
That the poor are that way
Because they are lazy
And subhuman, though she
Doesn’t quite word it
That way, it would
Far too clearly
Reveal her prejudice and
Shocking lack of empathy.
