Down down they go (the American dream)

The steps

                    Moving

                                        Forward

                                                            Always

                                                                                Down

The stairs are right there but they don’t move

When they

                    take

                                        stairs

                                                    that

 move

The ones who take the steps always finish first

The ones

                    who

                                        choose

                                                            to

                                                                    work

Hit the ground running long before the others

Lazy,

                    Waiting

                                        In line

                                                            With the                   

                                                                                Suckers

And they ask “why am I fat?” I can Take a picture

Even

                    Then

                                        They

                                                            Would

                                                                                Blame

 

The escalator for existing and not take notice to the error in their ways

A fraction

                    Of

                                        Them

                                                            Choose

                                                                                To walk

The rest just like to stand and wait in line

And be

                    Told

                                        What

                                                            You’re

                                                                                To do

be told where to go, how should I look when I do?
