FIVE AND FIFTY
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
If 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 were fools,
Unfit to be alive.
And if 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 five on fifty live,
But by election and assent—
