What It Means To Be Poor
What it means to be poor,
Is that there simply is no more
For dinner
There is rice,
But nothing that is nice
When there isn’t gas,
The car doesn’t go…
So you must walk, even in the snow
If they turn off the power
You can still wash your work clothes
In the shower!
Even if you work your feet into blisters
You will still be lazy
In the eyes of all those rich ass misters!
Even if your tummy growls
Don’t forget to warm their towels!
You must not tell
Anyone you suffer
Or they are sure to make your life much rougher
If you lose your home
Your children they are sure to take
A kindness that is fake
If your family knows your need
They will avoid you in their greed
It is a rare stranger
That will care
And give to you
What they can spare
It is a lie to say that life is fair
So try not to stare…
And reach out your hand,
If you want to be Grand
