My Posterity Footprint
I leave my footprint for you to see
the damage that shoes did to me.
My foot is no longer nice and wide
but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
No longer are my feet healthy and free
but diseased and sick, they bother me.

This is what society did to me.
I leave my footprint for the world to see. ~me
