Well...yeah this is a little darker than I like any of my poems to be but hey, can't help what comes out of my mind I guess. *shrug* Hope you like it anyway.

Make way for the V.I.P.'s,
     let them all get through
Roll yourself out
     and let them walk all over you.
Mind the thorns on the ground
     They'll only make it hurt more.
Hold back your cries,
     better you than the ones we all adore.  
Here come the beautiful ones,
     now bow down nice and low.
It's their time for glory
     yours was 15 minutes ago.
Kneel down now,
     be careful not to scrape your knees
In reverence and silence now
     behold your V.I.P.'s
Honor them and cherish them
     treat them all like Kings
What'd they do to deserve it?
     Not a solitary thing.
But deservence doesn't matter
     Immorality is their key
And for a lifetime they'll be more
     than you and I will ever be
So stand up, show them some respect,
     real loud now cheer
Welcome to the real world
     You're going to be very unhappy here.

  Well I can see why you would be proud of this!! It is terrible the way people let others walk all over them like this...everyone is special...I really get annoyed by people who think themselves on a higher level than others. Well, keep up the great work and hapy writing...

Wow! Now that packed a whallop Kandi! Powerful words here, and great wisdom in your closing ... those who feel other's need to bow down to them do have to reach reality sooner or later ... well done!  

Best wishes,

I love the attitude behind this, it's nicely done

this poem was really cool, the class struggle here is intense.
I like it,
it's a good way to say that they're not so special

Kandi~
This was amazing!!!You have brought so much to my mind but honestly I dont know what to say first...The people that want us to bow down to them in my opinion are just insecure...They need everyone else to know who they are just to be happy...They live a life that they dont want to live but do just to be able to walk all over people...But thats just my opinion...

You brought up an intresting topic...Thanks for sharing it...

2 thumbs up for you!!!

I can't believe what i just read!!!  I'm so sorry if this is how you feel the world to be.  But why accept it when we know that it's wrong, why not fight it?  It's all these stereo-typing in this God forsaken world that causes pain on others.  Be proud of yourself.  You said it yourself, that they have not done anything to deserve it, so it shouldn't be given.  They are not half the person who's done something worthwhile and has made a difference in this world.  That is what you should strive for.  They might be popular now, but in a couple years some of em might loose their hair, get fat,  etc....  They will be forgotten.  But if you do something that makes this world better, you wont.  And that's what should matter to you.  Don't give up on life.....smile
