Quotes of Category: welfare
The ones who are always on your side, or so they think, are the ones who keep you down. Everything they do keeps you down. They'll forgive you for anything. Rob, rape, pillage, and kill, and they'll defend you to yourself. They understand all outrages, and all your failings and faults, too. Perfect! You can go on that way forever. What do they care? Excuse me: they do care. They want it that way. How would they make a living, these servants of the poor, if there were no poor? What enabled me to rise above all the people who don't know enough to come in out of the rain is that one day I looked face to face at a man who hated half of everything I was and had the courage to tell me so. I remember his very words. He said, 'What you're doing is hideous--a perfect way to die young. Unless you want to live sweetly only in the hereafter, you ought to learn how to do the right thing.'" The doctor stopped what he was doing, dropped his hand to his sides, and looked directly at Peter Lake. "I hate the poor. Look what they do to themselves. How could you not hate them, unless you thought that they should be like this. book-quotewelfareDon't pack your bags just yet, stay awhile,
Don't try to run away to higher ground,
You're in my twisted clouds of sad misfortune,
And you are such an entertaining crowd!
{I've never had such cheerful toys to play with...}
Forget I said that – just a little natural disaster Humour, Ha-ha-ha.
Pull up a rusty lawn chair
On the waterfront in New Orleans,
And ignore the wind that howls,
Things aren't always as they seem.
I can smell fear in the air,
Fresh amidst the cornbread steam,
Forgive me if I sound excited,
{I'm going to be famous, you know!}
And let me take your money, please!
I'll drown your family, hunt down your pets,
I've got tricks that I've never even tried yet,
And it's so easy when I get the chance!
{I'll swipe your house in just one glance!}
As the saying goes, it all comes out in the wash,
But I'm the only wash that leaves no stone unturned,
Financial devastation is my middle name,
And social degradation is my third!
You, little boy from the bayou bank,
You used to fish for pointless fun {I can appreciate having fun},
But after I go, you'll find your parents poor,
You'll have eviction notices on your door,
You'll have to sell any fish you can catch, In a desperate grasp for money,
Although I hate to break it to you, That bayou's polluted, honey!
I see nothing in your future but welfare cheques!
And you there, little girl with the closet of toys,
You were born well-off with a room of your own,
You have dresses that look more like They're from fairy-tales,
Glittery lace on your schoolgirl gowns.
Wait 'till murky water licks those hems,
And your family is bankrupt And you're homeless with them!
Accept what's to come, won't you please? I'm just a carousel of wild winds Who'll bring you to your knees!
Hell, yeah!
Take a bow, take a bow,
Take a bow before your god…
I might just pardon you If you've got magic up your sleeve!
If you're swift and resourceful you could outrun me!
I always love a challenge!
I always love a game…
The question on your mind Is in regards to my first name,
Right?
My name is Katrina, the witch of the skies,
A sorceress whose debut dance makes everyone die,
I know it's not what you wanted!
{But I'm selfish through and through},
So, c'mon and make me happy!
Whether you're ready or not…" book-quotepovertysouthernwelfare
