Notes About The Poem

Abundance

A is for apathetic, “We all know you are!”
B is for b*tching, “Why can’t we have three cars?”
U is for the umbilical cord, you’ve never cut from Ma.
N is for neutral, “You've no guts to take a stand.”
D is for dependent, “You'll always need a hand!”
A is for angry, “Well, what else could you be?”
N is for nostalgia, cause in the past you’re free.
C is for all you children, who think they run the show.”
E is for euthanasia, how else could you get our dough.

And, all that forms abundance,
In case you could not tell?
Or went to school in Texas?
And never learned to spell.
