Jackass

People ain’t interested in what you are,
only in what you got…
Whats in in for me is what they see,
if little you matter not.

Ass kissing reserved for those that deserve,
with awe there revered,such distinction…
They decide for us all,who may rise who must fall,
while the rebel is crushed to extinction.

While trodden neath feet,bloodied but not beat,
I fight to be what I despise…
I’m tired of this yoke,of being a joke
and seeing through tired wounded eyes.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

In spite of them, fly anyway.

Great write. I'm impressed!
