Big Brother's Social Graders Poem by Francis Duggan

Big Brother's Social Graders



'Twould seem their duty as citizens is to pigeon hole others to say what social rank one to does belong
To them class distinction is a good thing in it they cannot see any wrong
They scoff at the idea of egalatarianism and in expressing their opinions on others are not shy
But if they so strongly believe in social rank then social rank too to them must apply.

They are Big Brother's Social Graders since people they do classify
They believe in social rank as a good thing and their idea of truth they never deny
The status quo they try to maintain as people they do seem quite small
They believe on a fair go for the privileged but not on a fair go for all.

You will find them in every village and in every city and town
They look up to those they see as achievers and on others they choose to look down
They even pigeon hole their neighbours suppose they cannot help the way they are
They judge people by the job they work at and by the size of their house and their car.

That it takes all kinds to make up the Humanworld with that most people would agree
Though Big Brother's so called Social Graders are not an asset to humanity
In their eyes people are not equal on class distinction they try to hold the line
On who should be seen as not or as important they see as their duty to define.
