THE Upper Crust
The Upper Case
Is the Upper Crust
and I will not humble myself
to any man
or woman
And neither should you, e.e.

9.24.23

I could add or alter this, like 'to no one'. Leaving it for now.

I could have fun playing with the purpose of poetic device like lower case to show weak, small, self-uninportance. Whatever the poetic reason, I chose all lower case, except for the personal pronoun. Not sure if anyone caught that. There were times i used i because i was really showing the feeling of diminshment or just lampooning its choice.

and other stuff. lates, ps

It's not 'how self-important am I?" That's self-doubt. It's I serve no man who dehumanizes, treats people as objects with wallets, turns tables, manipulates, overexaggerates your transgressions to put themselves on a higher level where you're not supposed to reach. And if you become a bull in their china shop, they can say 'see, he did that. he's not disproving Our point.'

Him. Him. Him.
He. He. He.
Be like Him.
Be charitable.
Look at you, you, you.
Shame, what are We to do
with someone like you
who won't fall in line,
follow Our lead -- not a command --
too strict, you see. We
are the people who are your 'friends'
(don't put too much stock in it)
until it ends and then We say
see, see, see
he, he, he
is not good enough, because
he acts out so defiantely.

I say, 'ignorantly'. Then, when I
gather enough knowledge
I do not have to stand
inside the oven before the pilot light...
