swivel swirls and ergonomic uber
words that suppose work and wonder
how do you get to climb the corporate ladder
in your short dress and 4 hour cocktail lunches
chanel hair clip and prada sandals
when you don't have a work-a-holic bone to speak of?
ok, perhaps somewhere you've snuck by
shortcut queen calling yourself some sort of martyr
strait-a-student or world traveler
with so little integrity to speak of
make it rich make it rich the motto of today
so proud of yourself
and he follows you as the goddess, a puppy with no home
while i travel through streets of poverty, guns and warfare
wondering how i can convince her to stay in school
stay off drugs and gangs
and out of motherhood
wretched, strangling, all encompassing motherhood
the fear of becoming the pitied overwhelmed sad mother
age 16
my livelihood
and art and creation, independent film study for 15 years
playing music and drawing, cutting out pictures from magazines
with 10 year olds and sticking them on with glue
liberal arts and advocacy and humanitarian integrity
teaching wisdoms inner pull
make it rich a fleeting wish
he once did follow me
i shut my door on him
more than once
because i am the biggest judge of them all
expecting honor and righteous ness
and color and wisdom
to garden my life
arrogant and conceited
full of ideals and abstract rules
show me your wisdom
or i can't fathom our friendship
for too long
Evil
I may appear
BUT like confuscious was
who unlike jesus felt that arrogance
was necessary to fight the fools-a-plenty
accepting one and all like jesus
is not our way
for how can you be any good
when people are raping and pilaging you?
