Blue Collars
Sick of seeing blue collars in news columns
because they felt the need to kill another
wear blue but step in blood, got new red bottoms
cause by their logic, we bleed the same color
“But we don’t kill!” they swore their swears were solemn
and honestly, their white lies just get duller
maybe if we reworked this corrupt system
before we clean out the bodies of victims
About this poem
