I'm a Hillbilly From Chicago

just in case you thought I was a redneck... from, where ever.

if you can't laugh at yourself
you might be an a*****e
if you take the internet seriously
you might be a jack a*s
if you think the comment section's legit
you might be an idiot
if you cry over words
you might be a p***y
if you say. . . "i don't have an ego"
you might be a liar
if you think the past should come back
you might just be old
if you don't know what cures bordeom
you might need some drugs
if you don't think you're a hypocrite

you might just be oblivious

if you talk too much about one thing

you might not have anything

if you poison what we came from

you might be my enemy

if you listen to jeff foxworthy
you know I'm unoriginal

and you're definitely a redneck

[Shubham Sharma]

Its dark humour in the most subtle manner that too especially in a poem. I can't say if you are being sarcastic or it's an irony of one's own self or rather the irony of the society's perspective on the flaws of different people in the world. And by different you don't resemble outcast, prodigies or people with in-born talent. That would be a waste. You talk the problems of the general section of the society, their flaws, their mediocrities and how the society mocks and rebuks them. I have told you often but I would say it again and again your poems have ALTRUSIC quality in them. It really inspires or atleast guides you if you are on wrong path.

I am more altruistic than most people give me credit for. But none the less, I'm still an a*****e.

Thanks for reading and your heartfelt comment. We still need to work on your English but for a second language you do pretty well.

I'm familiar with Jeff Foxworthy. No borrowing here. I find this quiet amusing.

[Davidgeo]

Obviously you're not that familiar with Jeff Foxworthy. "if... then, you might be a redneck" is one of his signature bit formats. You keep proving to be a man of very little authenticity... sucks to be you.

Good read, interesting and thought-provoking, Makes you look into your own self and reflect and wonder and think in general. Are you good?

[Davidgeo]

Everyone just "is". The word good has become too relative to mean the same thing for everyone. Never judge with your heart... just with your mind. When you condemn someone with your heart, there is no coming back. When you judge with your mind, things remain reasonable... till the end.

[Onlyme]

Thank you for the insightful information you just gave me. I will keep that in mind.

[Davidgeo]

I wouldn't exactly call it information... it's just a bit of opinion. I don't know too much more than you do. This all might be mentally cancerous

All good things here. The fourth line about crying is great. This poem has inspired me to think up my own list. Thanks for sharing :)

[Davidgeo]

Usually this kind of writing is not something I go for. But I felt lazy and like writing something anyway and it made me laugh so I thought, "why not put it up?"

[Davidgeo]

The fourth line is the best line. Well, maybe more of a tie with the "ego" and the "hypocrite" lines...

[DIVYA]

Kind of like twisted proverbs...I'm glad you put it up...
