You showed me I was clueless, I thank for your motivation
without ability or skill, to learn and improve my skill.
so, I'd know I was just a shoeless I got a good education,
kid, and break my will. and I'm learning still.
You took a place in the privileged few, I glad that you have a special place.
one you seemed to savor, I'm happy where I am.
so, I would be envious of you I owe nothing to anybody.
in your position of favor. I owe nothing to any man.
You ostracized and left me alone, Thanks, too, for my special place
for punishment, it was meant, and a chance to meditate,
so, for made up sins, I'd atone, traveling in my mind, time and space.
and publicly repent. I appreciate your gift, and I feel great.
You took everything away from me, You showed me how to make due.
so, I'd have no resource, Now, I can be resourceful when I try.
thinking you'd put me up a tree, and I've learned to take the view
with no recourse. that, important things, we can't buy.
Brilliantly, you framed me up From everything that I recall,
on pretenses flimsy, and when all is said and done,
persecuting me while smiling, yup, what you taught me most of all,
with a sense of whimsy. was how not to treat someone.
