For the first time in my life
I felt ashamed
Of where I came from,
And where I live.

And the worst part is
I can't tell you why.
You'd laugh it off and say
It's only money.

God tried to warn me,
and the devil tricked me.
We struck a match
But before
We could light
Anything
With it,
The flame
Danced and swayed
Tauntingly
As it burned
Itself away.
