The Man who Knows

Be careful of the man who knows,

the one who's walked the single path,

the man who says, "this way,"

when life has taken them there,

like a dog strung along by the smell of meat.

When privilege has made him ignorant.

Convenience and wealth has led him;

down the path where the grass is dead.

He says, "see, I know."

He discounts you easily and quickly.

He doesn't ask why.

He doesn't know.

He will tell you he is smarter than you.

And finally having convinced himself,

convinced of his own superiority,

his entitlement to your body and charity,

he would rather have you die,

than finding ways of surviving.

After all...

...if the poor want to survive,

they would be rich.
