I know how much
you like to control things.
I see your forte
is clipping others’ wings.
You may be smarter
but you’re not wiser.
You may be richer
but you’re not better.
You spent a lot of money
to become accomplished.
But you missed a spot
and could use some more polish.
So thank you, thank you
for crushing me down to size.
But I won’t stay down –
I will get up, I will arise.
I will remember
how you treated me
And I will make a note
of how I don’t want to be.

Of how you don’t want to be when you become very rich!! 😉
Exactly! 🙂 And that’s all I’ll say on that matter for now. Speaking too much can get a quiet person in trouble 🙂
