"She looked u at me through tear-stained cheeks and stammered, "My dad won't give me a Porsche when I come home if I don;t get all A's." I was a bit stunned. IT was my first encounter with real wealth. I remember looking at her and thinking, Holy shit. Being spoiled is worse abuse that being hit. At least I knew that being hit is wrong, But being spoiled ruins you."

Upon the streets
a kitten's mew
and beggar's shoe
are calling
and the voiceless
ask to borrow yours
so sweet and always falling. — Awaken, Love
