The slaves
The powers that be
They were angered
Angered by this man of Tao
Angered he wasn't sacrificing himself
Like they did
For their "almighty dollar"
Angered at his sense of humor
His calmness
And his emptiness
Oh how it bothered them
So they set out
To whisper in front of him
To mock his name
And what he stood for
It pleased them
Because they could never be
Like him
Every time
He watched
Below them
Humble
Yet seated high above
Their program
Not participating
Not trying or
And what have the doctorates learned
Their huge papers
Their pride
And arrogance
I've learned from them
How foolish
And prideful
Human beings can be
Degrade me
Debase me
Call me stupid
Or ignorant
All your intelligence
And all your pride
And all your wisdom
Won't save you
From a certain death
And when the system collapses
It won't matter
How much money you have
A doctorate starves to death
Just like a homeless ***
And any food I have
I won't give to you
I'll watch as you starve
All your wisdom
And arrogance
You thought you were so
Much better
Because you had more book knowledge
There are people smarter than you
People smarter than me
So what
So what
I have no sympathy
For you
When you starve to death
When terrible times come
A poem to help me get rid of some anger I had toward a very mean and disrespectful woman. I would offer her food in reality, even though she was a real obnoxious cow today.
