P.O.O.R

P.O.O.R
Written thezenix

In the line at D.S.S
Negativity was not at rest,
Because they use the words poor and poverty.

Those like me are filled with no hope.
We have the yarn but can’t seem to make the rope.
Because they use the words poor and poverty.

I have more integrity, with the white supremacy,
Than the social workers even dare to give me.
Because they use the words poor and poverty.

Poverty is making below the average pay.
But at the end of the day
It’s my blood and sweat that cleans up after the average pay.
But they still use the words poor and poverty.

So when they asked me was I in poverty,
I said no no no, I’m richer than I’ll ever be.
If the repo man comes I have something of infinite value and that is me,
And P.O.O.R I have not been since the age of 23.
P.O.O.R is an adjective that don’t describe me.
I don’t Pass Over Opportunities Repeatedly.

P.O.O.R is what they wish me to be,
But I’ve stopped Passing Over Opportunities Repeatly.

Being P.O.O.R is a state of I refused to be labeled.
I have been through that stage and am now willing and able.
Cause P.O.O.R made me think twice about my education,
It made me numb when it was time for sensation.
But the worst thing of all P.O.O.R made me,
Was drop my pen and change the blub when the light was shining brightly,
And there was a point where I lost faith in my writing.
I passed over the opportunity to bring a gift to those that was once alive.
And since I am not in the spotlight thousands are deprived.
I’m not bragging or getting a big head,
But even you are in your chair on the edge.

I replied to the social worker, being P.O.O.R aint’ for me,
And I bet there a million more in the lobby.
I did apologize for getting so amp.
And you better believe I still took them food stamps.
