People like us… the elite
The niche
The aware
Those who think
and speak sophisticated vernaculars
Us
We the People
Whose problems lie higher on Maslow’s hierarchy
Who look down upon those… peasants
We. Whose problems are not financial
We the depressed and depraved
Lonely, awkward, hopeless, and afraid
who shove away those who come to our aid
Who seek comfort on avarice of screens and gluttony
but avarice only bring more avarice
We the people
No. We’re not the people
We’re more than the people
We’re the pepeopleple
We who live in cities that touch the sky
and watch movies in languages not our own
for whom bad movies are just “time pass”
Deck the halls with boughs of holly… for us
‘Tis the season to be JOLLY… for us
Are we too boastful? Are we the mad ones?
