Hustle

Hustle

I hustle 
for my muscle
I hustle for the struggle
I am made of millions
that I juggle

I hustle for the poor
that live upon rats
right next to a damaged sewer

I hustle for what is right
so the poor children of the 
future can be bright
I hustle only two things from
the affluent a book and pen
so they can read and write

I hustle to give
so they can live
for they are still
human
