just like you


by anonymous



i don’t want much

i want to be just like you

i want respect

just like you

i want to rule the earth

just like you

i want to be able to walk into a bank and take out a billion dollars any time i want

just like you

i want to walk into the most expensive restaurant in the world and get personally escorted by the maitre’d to the best table

just like you

i want to star in a hollywood movie any time i want

just like you

i want to be elected president of the united states any time i want

just like you

i want everyone in the world to know my name

just like you

i want to be able to go anywhere and do anything

just like you

you were born in the big house on the hill

and you had everything

i was born in a shack down by the railroad tracks

and i had nothing

that was not very fair, was it?

i don’t want you telling me i should be grateful because i don’t live in a hole in the ground

i don’t want you telling me i should be grateful because i have not starved to death

do you live in a hole in the ground?

have you starved to death?

who are you to tell me i should be grateful for anything?

i know what i want

all i want is to be just like you

is that asking so much?
