Poem: Gold Plated

Gold Plated

By: Joi Maree Flowers


Smiling
For the flashing lights
Sipping
On the finest champagne
Hanging
With featured names
Just
To be recognized like they

But
Not are you what they've become
Just
Acting in hopes to be called one
Celebrity
Famous
It
Shiittttt

Chile
You work a 9 to 5
Like the rest of us
You're in the same class
Like the rest of us
You know us common folk
The ones you claim not to be like

Go on back home
To those kids of yours you left alone
And tomorrow find you a new clique
'Cuse these folks up in here
Aint your kind of crowd to be trying
To fit in
