Upside down

DOWN

I’m sick of people thinking that they are better than me
and I’m sick of me thinking that I am better than them
simply because they taught me to do so.

they teach us about the class system like they tell fairytales
once upon a time, far, far away . . .

Let me tell you, it’s alive and breathing in our streets.

Mothers telling sons to avoid prostitutes
then congratulating them on bagging a cheerleader
with a college degree.

the difference between the two:
honesty and profit
and a college degree

Fathers telling daughters to avoid drug dealers
but a pharmacist, now there’s a great match!

the difference between the two:
honesty and profit
and a college degree

and what may be lacking:
raw love
the kind of love needed to value the less fortunate

and what do we value?

honesty and profit
and a college degree.

UPSIDE
