Elevated Poverty (poem/book#2)


Elevated Poverty:

My man was bragging to his boy saying that he had over a hundred pairs of Js as he was hopping on the bus and negotiating with the driver over change. Sneakers are a drug. A supersonic short term tonic to make us feel good. We look good being coerced into a prism masked as a high school survival mechanism. Making money is a skill. To make one one-hundredth of a million, we don’t know how, but we are constantly, breathlessly chasing our tails/tales for an Air/heir of wealth. We sacrifice success and what’s next for feeling like a millionaire right now. We appear high net worth with showmanship expenses and debt unworthy of ever being confused for a safety net. Until we reach old age, we may never realize that our spending lifestyle sucks. We spend over a million minutes of lifetime labor just to look like a million bucks.

When I create, I do my best to be the receiver, guided by something greater than myself. In the moment, as I remain, I am made to feel, without judgement, creating in the hopes that YOU can see beyond your failures and flaws -- and just create, as we are all born-creators. | May the energy within this work be transferred to you and may you be inspired to transform the life of another. This is my why, why I exist.
