LA-DI-DA
There’s an honesty in struggle
Despite pressure to overcome
There are others with privilege
That’s sending a clear message
Still felt very strongly by some
With responsibilities to juggle
Fancy Is perhaps a wrong word
Never for style and celebration
But if it’s used for showing off
Even owning a top hat to doff
Ignoring the echoes of a nation
Only the superficiality is heard
Yet from despair, pride can rise
As one can keep that steely gaze
All stories deserving to be retold
So live the new, not just the old
With the rest of us all to amaze
As humanity is seen in our eyes
