Plain Joe
Plain Joe awoke today
Went to earn his pay
Finding what he can
To become a better man
Avoiding the nasty fray.
But others push on Joe
To join the to-and-fro
And believe the common thought
Purchase what they’ve bought
And get inside the flow.
Yet Joe is a me
A creature who is free
To use his blessed brain
To avoid the furious insane
And find who he can be.
But pressure comes to bear
As the bullies never care
What path Joe might choose
Disagree and he will lose
A chance to be treated fair.
So Joe learns his cues
Although he gets the blues
He laughs extra loud
With the crudeness of the crowd
Hoping for better news.
Then one day he’s laid off
With nickels and pennies, he’s paid off
Left without the job
Separated from the mob
Stuck with his meaningless trade-off.
What will it prosper the Common Joe
To gain approval, then lose his dough
Stuck with a soul he didn’t make
Feeling like a stupid fake
With no place left to grow.
So Joseph made a decision
To escape the bigoted division
And join the human race
Allowing the smile upon his face
To
Shine
Yes
To
Shine
