Poor

Poor

A Poem by a_methyste
"

When you are poor you do not shine You stink like a corpse And the kids do not want to hang out with you. They avoid you like black cats.

"
When you are poor you do not shine
You stink like a corpse
And the kids do not want to hang out with you.
They avoid you like black cats.

Like others have said, it's been my observation that kids are terrible, at least until they know better... but I've been poor too... lotsa thoughts. Anyways, cheers

Thank you for the support. Let better days come. We deserve them. Hugs and love my friend.

Yes it does.
They'll learn when they leave home and have to manage their own pocket linings.
Finely expressed hurt and isolation.
A case of 'don't mock my lack of shoes, I've not mocked your lack of empathy'
In fact, black cats can disappear into the darkest night, knowing little or nothing about purring for joy and kindness plus, they can spit.
