Was convince all of my parents that poor people are good parents too,
so ingrained in their psyche that they couldn't get it.
the second thing I had to do was tell them you don't stand for injustice,
though they've never written one letter or one phone call.
The third thing I had to do was tell them that women are no different than men,
they have SEX! Imagine that!
The fourth thing I had to do was succeed with a disability, be a published poet,
volunteer, and run races, still they want perfection even when it's not there.
I had to fight against all the odds to be a homeowner, to be a single mother
with a purpose, to be an activist and fighter all my life, with no help from anyone.
I'm not taking shit from you that says everyone is disability is a lazy taker.
Even on it, I've paid into it, no fault of my own that I should lose jobs.
Get On My Side for once in your life.
