We roll by
Giving all
We got to
Get by and
We might be
Driving a
Taurus or
Fiesta
Maybe a
Pickup truck
Or shiny
Kia thing
We will rage
Sometimes by
Our dying
Kitchen light
Not too loud
Can't lose our
Jobs because
Our babies
Need healthcare

Hat tip to Dylan Thomas for his "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night."
This started from my perspective, 'He.' But then I remembered that economics and everything it's possibly more accurate to say "She" ... So I wrote it with She/Her. Then I realized ... it's us and we. We're all in this together.
