I quit everything to write poems. Here’s one.

Show that W-2 to a younger you

Ask if they thought that slavery was through

Clap back to yourself, quick, with, ‘if you only knew’

And “examine your ass, it’s ‘bout to hold a shoe”

Wage slave is thrown around without care

Cost of living and inflation rise into thin air

Ask for a raise; management, HR just stare

You don’t have a chair, just a hair of stock share

That being said, let’s get this pot stirred

Yes, I wanted to use that missing c-word

To absolutely ensure this message is heard

But I’m a decent human when lines are blurred

Two weeks of vacation if approved 2 decades before

Best not get pregnant, unless it was in the cold war

You’re a pawn on the board of debt-ratio score

Don’t ask for benefits, a drugstore encore

That ceiling that’s glass, let’s get down to brass tacks

Shove it up your ass, you’re f-wording women, minorities and blacks

I hate phrasing it like that, a diction mental lax

But it’s true across the board, offshore to overboard tax

Tell me I'm wrong.
