Greg Gaul Poet Couplet

Problem of Privilege

I ordered a steak
It came back too rare

I looked in the mirror
I'm losing my hair

A traffic nut passed me on the right
Honked my horn with all my might

Watch the news or whatever is there
Tell you the truth, I just sit and stare

My business is worried, facing a loss
Lots of financial risk being the boss

Fearing for the workers, how they'll fare
Everything I have, it's tough not to care
