Nouveau Riche
By Teneisha Mytil
Golden rings and flash banging dresses
We are the next generation
The princes and princesses
Draped in green paper like fine silk
Our eyes are us
The healthy amongst the ill
And we sin our way through time
Doing the cokes, opes, and dopes
Make the world go round just fine
Filled up with grapes and barley
To us
Life is just an endless party
No worries, no frets
We got everything we need
And yet
We can’t help but feel
A little empty
Like none of this is real
Golden rings and flash banging dresses
We are the next generation
The princes and princesses
And repeat
And repeat
