Going down South
head down to ole Mississippi
to check out the Delta
gotta check it out
after all these years
of listening to the blues.
It’s probably just
a bunch of sheds
with poor people
who just desperately
want to get
the hell out of there
but I’m that goofy,
middle class white guy
who romanticizes poverty—
someone else’s poverty, of course.
If I hadda live it myself
I wouldn’t be romanticizing it.
I’d be screaming
Ah, let me out
Get my pansy ass out of here
It’s always easy to pose
when all you have to do is talk the talk
without having to walk the walk.
I Wrote Two Novels
a rise out of poverty by fame. Some get out, some don't. - slc
you'll have to publish them
you'll have to publish them so we can read them. thanks for stopping by.
