The Noble Savage

I was in a very satirical kind of mood last week, I did a little free writing and came up with this.

God Bless the Noble Savage

God bless the noble savage
whose life turned out just fine.
Despite the fact that he doesn't feel the need
to spend a single dime


He doesn't need
the Ivy League or honor roll
to turn out just and moral


The noble savage never hesitates
to give to those less off
he doesn't even need the bonus
of an IRS write off


The noble savage is quite content
with his eclectic rags.
He doesn't need $300 shoes
or stuff with designer tags


There is no need for lypo or Adkins
to satisfy his self worth
his daily quest for survival is plenty
to reduce his girth.


Starbuck's and McDonald's
are not high upon his list.
We can only hope the rest of the world
will someday get the gist.
