Are You a Valid Person?

 

Are you a valid person at all?
Are you over six feet tall?

Are you working an important job?
God forbid you’re one of those indolent slobs.

Do you look like a dope?
Or are you pretty I hope.

Who are you wearing?
Do you have fans staring?

Are people attracted to your look?
Have you published a book?

Do you have good sex?
Are you wearing a Rolex?

You’re not one of those melancholy bores?
One of those people that’s a chore.
How’s the family life? Got kids? Got a spouse? Got a house?

Got a status symbol in the driveway?
Bro, like where do you vacay?

Are you part of a political party?
How much do you give to charity?

Have you been on TV?
How skinny can you be?

Your family is affluent right?
Can you beat people up in a fight?
Do you have a lot of guns to show your might?

Do you have a Phd by your name?
Are you good at any games?

What score did you get on your SAT test?
At what gimmick are you best?

Are you not easily frightened?
Are you spiritually enlightened?

How far can you throw a football?
Are you a valid person at all?
It’s your call.

Listen to what others say to measure your worth,
or do what feels right on this earth.

You don’t have to conform like them you see.
You just have to be.
