Don't clutch your
purse when you see me coming.
I work just like
you and your peers.
Why are you so
afraid of me?
Is it my skin
color, or my knowledge?
I should be afraid
of you.
I'm not the one
whose committing white collar crimes, stealing from Social Security and the
Health Care System.
And you're afraid
of me?
I'm not the one
who’s at the beach getting a tan, lip injections and breast implants.
But you're afraid
of me?
So tell me. . . who
are you?
