REPRESENTATION
Anybody noticing the pattern?
Of course, the tropes have long since been cemented
How certain folks are often represented
Makes you wonder if it happens purposely
Can’t have them boasting class, or education
The basest, and the crudest in the nation
The least refined in every situation
On platforms where they really shouldn’t be
When an opportunity’s presented
To change the narrative, and up the ante
To show the world how versatile we can be
The perceived exception seems to terrify
Incompetence and ignorance are reigning
Glorifying foolishness in-training
Putting best feet forward, slowly waning
The absurdity of it all makes you cry
Who thinks worst is the best we have to offer?
Perhaps, it’s all the insecure can handle
The thought of competence, makes them all scramble
To find an eager patsy to control
A fool who’s being used, won’t think he is one
Will shuck, and jive, and dance, and pick the cotton
Daily, ever racing to the bottom
And slowly shedding pieces of his soul
To know what qualifies, you have to see it
Propping up mediocrity is needed
Only by those who have always succeeded
In convincing others, greatness can’t be found
Fortunately, the pattern’s only fooled some
When the tropes fail, and are no longer useful
To the curb they’re kicked
Isn’t it awful?
When no one’s in your corner who is truthful?
Who’ll help you keep your two feet on the ground?
