Blake uses the chimney sweepers to expose how society ignores suffering, a message that still resonates today. I once saw a new, quieter kid in school constantly get his ideas overlooked in a group project while a louder, more popular student took all the credit. This experience connects to the emotions of silent misery and the idea of societal complicity, showing how people "think they have done me no injury" as long as they can ignore the suffering and maintain their comfortable lives, just like the churchgoers in the poem who praise God while the children suffer outside.
