escaping the curse

* escaping the curse *
Dull insensitive and poor
The triple curse of lower class
They are of course not dull
Their sensitivities not coarse
But they are poor
And the media tell us
For this curse all others follow
If they lived lives of celebrities
How much better their lives would be
This they have to teach their children
15 minutes of publicity worth any infamy
The money received for whoring self
To the new world media order
Makes you a better person
Than those who struggle by
And when the circus has moved on
Another poor freak uncovered to taunt
No one will care if panties on
If drink or drug self into stupor
Crash your car or need rehab
No one will care or pay more
To see how you live with yourself
Sometimes lower classes say
Cure can be worse than the disease.
