The Orange Curtain

by Lilian Bui 12/4/2009

Hey, you over there!
Yeah,
You.

The one with the Kanye glasses,
The roofoveryourhead,
The Benz,
The flat screen,
The savings plan,
The diamond-studded diamonds on your
Favorite Coach handbag.

What right do you have to feel sorry for yourself?

He says,
"My parents won't ever get me,"
Swiping Daddy's credit card.
"I can't afford my membership,"
Ever thought of getting a job, working hard?

She says,
"My boyfriend left me yesterday"
Well, he wasn't good enough.
"I feel so lost and lonely"
Join the fucking club.

Children of the Middle Class -
Because you are just children -
Times are hard for the rest of us.

Self-pity
Is your biggest
Luxury.
