Unacknowledged
I deserve this.
I worked hard for this.
Suckers begging for handouts --
Their greedy mouths implore
From their premature graves;
Through their lazy fingers
Water flows and yet they drink none of it.
I take what I get and I built myself a dam.
Cutting them some slack just conditions them;
Like monkeys, coming back to steal more.
Fuck them for wanting to take this from me.
I know I deserve this.
They know I deserve this.
They just pretend not to,
As they pretend to work.
