Pillar of the Community
by Monica Helene Thomas

Some say don’t blame them they’re just pillars of the community,
Just prominent leaders who speaks up for them,
But others say that don’t mean nothing to them,
That’s a cult, pillar of the community is a new form of highway robbery,
Question then being, who are you investing in?
When you fall short, who then can you depen?
Everyone nowadays are just out for self, they’ll reach the top if only they’ll play their cards right out of the hands they’ve been dealt,
While others on the other hand, lag behind, they’ll stay in the back drop helping others along teaching them how to rise, grind then watch them shine*
With all that being said tell me what thanks do you get?
When you got bullets coming down through your town like a rain shower, who you suppose…
