WHY COMPLAINT

IL fifty men did all the work
And gave the price to five;
And let those five make all the
rules
You'd say the fifty men we're fools,
Unfit to be alive.
And II you heard complaining cries
From fifty brawny men,
Blaming the five for graft and
greed,
Injustice, cruelty. indeed
What would you call them then?
Not by their own superior force
Do i've on fifty live,
But by election and assent
And privilege Of government
Powers that the fifty give.
Il nifty men are really fools
And i've have all the brains
The I've must rule as now we find;
But II the City have the mind
Why don't they take the reins?
Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
