Life Scrub

A poem...

You say it's all been fair
but build here and never there
Entitled to your edge
as you waste away in bed
To keep your shattered whole
we must bend to your control
You tell us you're opining
but we all know you're just whining

Because they finally leveled the playing field

You insist your claims are true
since the real truth just won't do

Because they finally leveled the playing field

You're the victim---we've all heard
shadows speak between your words
What we all see as greed
can't fulfill your basic need
No double standard and you're cranky
like a toddler without its blankie

Because they finally leveled the playing field
