Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

the Social Justice Care Division

 

I got robbed and mugged

I called 911

asked for the police

they did not answer

would not come

instead I was routed to

the "Social Justice Care Division"

and they said they would send

a trained Social Worker

to talk to the robber

and try to make him feel better

and give him a cookie

 

turns out the social worker

after interviewing the robber at length

ran off with the robber to Las Vegas

apparently they hit it off

the robber had violent intent

the social worker

only an apology for being privileged

 

now I have no recourse

but to become a robber myself

because criminals are now considered good

and working people are the bad guys

and even if arrested

you get a "get out of jail free" card

and a cash payment to help tide you over

until your next robbery

 

how's that for Social Justice?
