I make too much To get assistance They said it So rude But not enough To buy food Not enough to be Needful Just enough to be Invisible The Middle class They say is Where I belong But not enough To right a wrong Not enough to be Vocal Just enough to be Invisible Get an education They say and You will Get a job But not enough Jobs Only Sobs Not enough to be Vital Just enough to be Invisible Work part-time They say To pay the bills But not enough It’s a given Not enough to Pay the Politician Not enough to be Equal Just enough to be Invisible But enough Of What They say Enough Of being Divisible Enough Of being Invisible To The Streets I go To Be Vocal To Be Visible Marlene M.
