My People

.


My People
We’ve got to do better
Not just to keep up with the Jones’
But do it for self
Aren’t you tired of being a joke?
Notice how they only interview the one that looks like they just rolled out of bed and completely ignore the one in the suit that has knowledge seeping out of their pores
Don’t tell me that is how you were raised
Break the cycle
Aim higher
Evolve
Seems like we’re comfortable
Playing the monkey at the circus
And that isn’t disrespect to anyone specific
But if the shoe fits
Then you need to wear it
We need to change
To elevate
Only we
Can fix us
