Skin Alone

How can you sit and judge

For something you think I have?

I've read your poems

You accuse the reader

Of privileges assumed by skin alone.

Why do you judge me?

You're here the same as I.

How did you get here, I ask

If it is you who claims to be broke, not I?

You seem the type who works

And complains of no cash

Because you're social

And text it all away.

I only appear to have money

Grandma and Grandpa aint dead yet.

There is no guarantee that I'll get more than

Four children

Seven other grandchildren

Countless family overseas

Don't accuse me ‘cuz you have potential

I'm just another face for the crowd.
