Graduated from college got yo degree <br />Thought sheep-skin would set you free <br />Make a lot of money, pillar in society <br />Corporate success, wall street notariety <br /> <br />Feeling good about material gain <br />Bureaucratic attitude, seared in yo brain <br />Yo only thoughts are about yo jobs <br />Business just business makes yo heart throb <br /> <br />Years of success, you did yo best <br />Made sacrifices, past every test <br />Maintained yo status stayed elite <br />Being superficial was yo retreat <br /> <br />Total allegiance to being a machine <br />Thoughts you had fulfilled yo dream <br />Got no soul, no self-esteem <br /> <br />Highly educated but still a neophyte knave <br />You forgot <br />A slave ain’t nothin but a slave<br /><br />Josephine DixonBanks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slave-ain-t-nothin-but-a-slave/
