Come on in;
It's freezing out there!
Set your luggage at your feet
for I'll tend to every parcel in a heartbeat.

Then come and sit at the dinnertable
with my friends and me,
for we would thoroughly enjoy
your new and peculiar company.

Wait! (Said I) Have I seen you before?
This must be some kind of trick!
For I also tended to your luggage
when you were weak and sick.

As we climb great heights
we forget the grounds below.

Much like mountainclimbers,
people earning more money
than their friends tend to be
greedier, selfish, ignorant and egotistical.

CEOs, for example,
tend to forget those on foodstamps.
In fact, their salaries are 484 times that
of the average worker.
Helloooo 20 vacation homes!

Inequality is rising in this country
at an alarming rate.

The top 1% owns about 80%
of the wealth in our country.

What can I say?
Those few mountainclimbers
can't even look past their noses.

I am I the monster
or is society?

**I'm confused.

didn't think i'd make it this far,
or actually have someone see
something in me worth asking to
partake in their system for,
but here i am,
coming home to a letter saying
that i'm not a complete failure,
that my parents are "proud" of me this year,
my mother cried and laughed,
and to be honest..
i almost did too.
