Sorry Asses

I am but a little girl

Who has big dreams

Living in a poor home

In a bad neighborhood

In the overcrowded capital city

Of a third world country

In a world that is in debt.

Author's Note

The world really doesn't look very bright to me, sometimes :P

USA at its worst will always be a better place to be, learn and grow. Wherever there is more, the is more opportunity, and more chance of obtaining important things to possibly take back home even if home is a third world country. The way I see it, "some" people here that have stolen, now don't want others to come to do the same and steal from them, and to this I say, if everyone that wants a better life gets a life, we have a better chance at reaching the goal of equality...a goal this country was built on but never seems to deliver.
...so my review of the poem, "so come here!"

[Blue Ivory]

Yes, that would be the solution. Thank you. :)

[Antoñyo]

You're very welcome

[R.A. Youngblood]

This is pretty sad and hopeless, but very truthful. I like the structure. Thanks for sharing. :D

[SHEEMA HUQ]

A sad revelation where one feels that all the odds are against you, though you carry on, well done.

Just keep hold of those big dreams

[Blue Ivory]

Thanks :) I appreciate your reviews.

[Baby Ricochet]

Wow! This one's a slap in the face. Great job Siren

[Blue Ivory]

Why thank you :3

[Not Your Typical New Yo..]

Wow. Very gripping. It's a sad but very, very truthful poem. Just think, though, some people in Africa don't even have homes at all. They have Slums. Anyway, I thank you for sharing this. This was a great read.

[Blue Ivory]

Yeah I know! That's the thing about reality. There are so many perspectives, it's impossible to consider all of them at once. Hence the biased poem :P Glad you enjoyed it!

The way the world is going. You may be better off in a third world country. 49 million USA people were on welfare. No real jobs and people are losing hope. In the land of milk and honey. The milk and honey had ran dried. I told people a long time ago. Poor countries don't feel the pressure of the economy. They have no-where to go but up. When the rich nations fall. Poor nations will survive. I like the poem. It was honest and direct. Most talented and hopeful people are from the 3rd world countries. They appreciate education and opportunity. Thank you for sharing your opinion on a important topic.

That's a very good point. Thanks for the insight!

This is one reality check. :) I love the changes in font size because they sure give dramatic emphasis. Creatively penned. :x

[Blue Ivory]

Thank you :3

Very factual... i have the same feeling too, dear, at times... being belittled and affected by the superiority complex and exhibition of power of the wealthy and healthy. Then, it triggers the inferiority complex among the unfortunate. Fitting in a society where social inequality is at its worst seems to be discouraging. However, we need to have diversions from these thoughts. I have learned that i have to be grateful of what i have. Of course, i question my purpose of life. So, I have to think of it as a positive observer.

[Blue Ivory]

Yeah, you're right. That's important too.

[Leslie Philibert]

A great poem, the layout remind me of Herta Müller`s poetry, and you are exactly right.We Europeans are greedy, spoiled, and have no conscience about buying things made by slave labour in Bangla Desh.
Great poem, congratulations..

[Blue Ivory]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you could appreciate it.
