Benefit Of The Doubt For The Wealthy Too

Stretching taller than you stand,

chest beaming above people in stands.


Everyone says you overcompensate;

assumed by your servers tips seeming overcompensated.


Who knows where the rumors lead.

I refuse to hunt these types of leads.


So to you - I’ll be direct.

From where does your wealth come directly?


“Markets filled with lemons.”

Markets filled with lemons?


“Yes. When I was a boy,

I made friends with another boy.


He had a lemon tree

and when our family grew into a tree…


We taught our own lemons

to proudly sell lemons.


This is how they thank us

and they also humbled us.”
