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

When Terrible Times Come
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.
