I attend the funeral of hope, weekly Watch the birth of despair daily I think God has gone deaf, atleast to my cries People look at possessions as success They aren't They're stones tied to souls making sure we all drown with the Jones' we all so long to keep up with Oh yes, those Jones' are falling to the Depths of "stuff" far faster than we Smiths Good Lord All day, Everyday, I see and hear the "upper class" whine About the stupidest things Its appocalypse if the Jones' buy a BMW while the neighbor only owns a Cadilac Utter DEATH I see these things and hear these silly conversations daily "Oh did you see how fat Pam's *** looked in that Vera dress at yesterday's luncheon?" "Yes! All that money spent on lypo! Haha!" Disgusting **** like sulfuric acid poured into my ears And the road on the way to this Country Club and Gated Community called Deerfield Is lined with falling down trailers and houses without glass in the Windows Clothes hung on ancient strings because the wearers can't afford a dryer Or the electicity to run one Children filthy and barefoot playing with hand-me-down toys in hay field yards Still cleaner and more pure than the Filthy Rich
I wavered in my original intent with this one. I just got So angry today at work. These rich people in their multi-million dollar homes behind a coded gated community are complaining about the "eye sore" homes of these poor mountain people. Rather than help them, or try to see from both sides of the gate, They'd rather the city take the land and tear down these peoples homes. They would rather human beings be ******* homeless, than have to drive by any imperfect thing on their way to their 12 and 13 bedroom, lake front, mansions!! Seriously! They are actually petitioning for this devilish act. I spit at them! Better educate these people and give them a chance to do better. Knowledge is wealth and power. And knowledge should be given freely. The public schools here are awful. The children share books And the local high school only has three computers in the inadequate library. I won't deny being lucky. I went to a private school, as will my Stella. But know this, I donate frequently, And when I taught the dance, I taught more than one girl for free. I could rant about this all night but I have Easter baskets to fill. I love you all. Happy Easter<3
