I am glad of who I am. I celebrate my difference From those who scam And lie, without diffidence, Meanwhile, they are godless And worship Mammon In the name of holiness; A practice that is common. Their sleepless nights And bingeing on Mylanta Belies their image of Santa; Their self-created fantasy Of being job creators When the money they create They keep, and put away Into offshore banking states. With no basis for pride. They can’t celebrate About what they are, They can only prevaricate; Hire companies to help them To look us in our eye, Smile in thousand dollar hairdos And capped teeth then lie. Not I. My armor is truth, Saying what and who I am And letting others know Their postures are flim-flam! And as long as they make money Nothing is commendable but wealth; They joyfully create a culture Where there is pride in stealth.

GILDED FEET OF CLAY
I am glad of who I am. I celebrate my difference From those who scam And lie, without diffidence, Meanwhile, they are godless And worship Mammon In the name of holiness; A practice that is common. Their sleepless nights And bingeing on Mylanta Belies their image of Santa; Their self-created fantasy Of being job creators When the money they create They keep, and put away Into offshore banking states. With no basis for pride. They can’t celebrate About what they are, They can only prevaricate; Hire companies to help them To look us in our eye, Smile in thousand dollar hairdos And capped teeth then lie. Not I. My armor is truth, Saying what and who I am And letting others know Their postures are flim-flam! And as long as they make money Nothing is commendable but wealth; They joyfully create a culture Where there is pride in stealth.
