Special Poem by Buddy Bee Anthony

You're entitlement allows you
to say or do anything you please.
because you're special.
Laws and ethical standards
the rest of us must obey, and adhere to
don't apply to you
Again, because, you're special.

Your hustle is easy.
your birth to death trust fund
holds a special clause
giving you a King's Ransom allowance
to live on
for the rest
of your life.
You'll never know the pain
and conflicting emotions
of someone who has to beg,
steal, or go without
the bare necessities of life.
You have everything and more
at your fingertips.
If or when you get bored
with your luxury bubble
you have multiple options,
maybe take a joy ride with some
reckless and trending, lover toy.
in your custom equipped
sports car.

If you drive too fast when you
are in a rush, and crash
daddy-cakes will be right there
to bail you out of trouble, and
buy you a new car
No questions asked.
because
you're indescribably special.

You own millions of acres
in trust of open land
tenant farmers pay you to tend.

Lands you've never seen
nor care to see.
lands endowing you with
a staggering, quarterly dividend
wired directly to your bank account.
How could anyone not see you're
special?

Your church doesn't ask
nor do you tell
why you don't attend anymore.
Yet, you dutifully, pay
all your membership dues
and give alms to charity
before the
end of the fiscal year
making you a special bird in their flock.

Your- organizational abilities are legendary
though, you wouldn't dream of attending
a function you organized,
unless you get to read selected
chapters and discuss your book
.'How to spice up your life.'
as your admirers line up
for an autographed copy.
Your chief advisers feel it's
time for you
to get more juice
from your holdings
by running for office.
The Senate or Congress.
With shrewd planning
and your deep pockets
you could go all the way
to a victory.
The smart money
is hitching their wagon
to your star.
Because you are a specialist
at being special.


You're renowned for fighting the good fight
for justice and equality
to champion your cause(s)
Because your causes
are just and true causes
and you've got the clout
to have 'right' on your side.
even when you're mistaken.
Another clear reason
to stick with a winner
and bet on you.

You don't hesitate to earnestly test
with enthusiasm,
new medieval, and spiteful methods
to sock it to anyone who opposes
your personal, agenda
or privately held, business interests.
The very instant someone ceases to benefit you
they're outsourced, dismissed
written out of your roll-o-dex
shuffled along,
deleted, departed, blackballed,
stricken from your book of life.
Because you're stunningly special.

You've built a formidable
empire getting legislation
passed, stacking the deck in
your favor to short change
and put fear in your work force
whose sweat equity
built up your fortresses
of influence and wealth.
Laying all the heat on workers
crippling and dismantling
collective bargaining, and strike busting
Making fighting your power too
costly, too painful for them
by creating a myriad of endless hoops
they must jump through
to become a vested and valued partner.
ever weakening their inclusive resolve
until, exhausted, they are left to accept
the indentured servitude
granted them
along with
a strangling, and arbitrary,
right to work clause
so you can pay them
less than a living wage
Because, you're so special.

You've worked tirelessly to rob
your workers of a fair share
by chiseling them out of
what they are actually worth.
while fortifying your
bottom line and that of
your Board Of Directors
The more hours squeezed from the
help, the better it looks
on your quarterly ledger.
Employing shyster lawyers,
who use all manner of hocus pocus
in league with corruptible judges
to ratify grand theft
as standard company policy
How could anyone not know
how special you are.
