Fluffing Up Of Plastic Feathers
Where I come from,
People are berated...
For their accomplishments done.
Then are expected to participate,
In calls for community unity.
Only to socialize with others...
In a flaunting of their charaded pulchritude.
I prefer not to confuse their issues,
With what I do.
I like to mingle with those,
Who are straight up in the 'hood'.
Appreciating them for who they are.
And there is a mutual exchanging done too.
Without a fluffing up of plastic feathers.
'What do you know about living in the 'hood'? '
People like you would be surprised.
In fact...
People like you wouldn't know what to do,
If not appearing for photo ops...
After making hollow speeches.
