I, Too
I am the impoverished brother.
They take away my opportunities
To give to people with more money,
But I still learn,
And practice,
And strive.
Tomorrow,
I will take an opportunity
When it comes
Nobody’ll dare
Take it from me
Because they have more money
Anymore.
Besides,
They’ll see how smart I am
And be ashamed-
I, too, am a scholar.
