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.”
