To the lowers
lower thoughts
to the lowers
lower do's and deeds
to the lower
lower talks and jives
to the lower
has to look up to the higher
in lower eyes
bringing pains in lower necks
which they blame the higher for
no swinging low
no sweet chariots
they are already home on lower levels
waiting for their leaders to leave the concessionary bars
where the movers and shakers all celebrate their high status
the lowers are waiting with neck pains
the lowers are playing checkers
and picking on brown men for their pains
in lowers' sensibility
in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
