Classism In America Lisa Cote WS 405 University of new Hampshire Joelle Ruby Ryan
The finer things in life come  easy for the wealthy,
the average and poor people are trying to stay financially healthy.
Day to day money issues are always on people’s minds,
As they struggle to make ends meet, it’s very hard some times.
The average American  citizen lives from payday to payday,
Silverspoon guys and gals just go on their merry way.
Reality stars like Snooki and the  Situation,
Are now a part of the celebrity attention.
With the large amounts of money they now have to spend,
They won’t have to ask for that one time lend.
So as they’re paid to party day to night,
A lower class mother works nonstop with all her might.
While applying to colleges by a child of the higher class,
They have little worry because  they’ll get by with that “free pass”.
However a little girl on the other hand, doesn’t think about much while playing in the sand.
She doesn’t know that  while she plays care free, her father tells her mother they must flee.
For little Jenny has no idea of her parents socio-economic state, she will grow up poor not knowing her educational fate.
In the past high school has been known as the “best” years,
but when you don’t have the popular brands, you result with tears.
If you’re not sporting the new Ugg boots or a backpack from The North Face,
you’ll be moving up the social ladder at a very slow pace.
Now I hate being the bearer of bad news, but I think it’s time we all took a walk in someone else's shoes.
Because the America I love and call my home, is a place where different classes do in fact roam.
We can all work together to stop the discrimination and oppression,
before this country experiences another sad life of depression.
So if you’re one that lives a cushy lifestyle, where you can sit back with your coffee, relax, and watch your kids play in a pig pile,
remember there is a family out there, living with such horrible despair.
And although you may have worked hard to get where you are today,
that family will struggle every step of the way.
