Think Again
Remember, his topics of conversation
are more important than yours.
I am a doctor, you are a nurse
Why must you think this should be in reverse
I’ve had more training, spent a lot more
And yet, you still feel superior
But, no matter
I will fly like a bird against the sun
crash through painted arcadias
show off my bold, strong wings
Despite ourselves.
Our kind multiplies
we will realize, revolutionize, revolt
Before you can think twice
We shall by morning
Inherit the earth
