Student unions

It was a rainy evening
Tired beings headed back home
After a day's work
Of writing, signing, typing, filing, etc.
And they were all warned
About the terrible traffic
Such an inconvenince
Cause by the dreaded, havoc-playing,
Nothing better to do, too much time in their hands,
Unappreciative student unions
And while people complained
Sighed, dozed off only to find that
During their nap
The vehicle hadn't moved an inch
While heads were scratched
Books were read
Tweets tweeted
Photos liked
How many asked what the matter was?
How many realised the weight on the
Students' shoulders?
How many knew about the debt these
Students were drowning in?
How many stopped to read a banner?
How many spoke to the activists?
How many wondered if there was
Reason behind the protest?
Many cursed them
Took photographs
Posted about the traffic situation
Some even called the students
'Ungrateful' 'monkeys'
And yet
While people complained about being
'Traffucked'
None seemed to be concerned about
How badly the students were
Fucked
By the system.
