Protest With Those Protesting

Don't get erratic
Like the people in the streets.
I say emphatically...
Help them protest
A lack of quality!

You chased the 'bling' of things.
Titles and socialites,
And what you thought a good life brings.

You laughed at me.
Because I had my hands in toilets,
And cleaning sinks.

But I owned what I did.
And learned from invested time in it!
What did you learn?
How to pick up a pink slip...
Smile and be replaced!

Don't get erratic
Like the people in the streets.
I say emphatically...
Help them protest
A lack of quality!
I can think of no one better,
Than you.
How best to discuss,
A digust with a life you knew!
I can think of no one better,
Than you.
To protest with those protesting,
How they assisted themselves
In being screwed!
