Way Down Yonder in the Land of Cotton

Little yes man
you wiped out nineteen years
of her hard working life
with one insignificant
wave of your hand
she walks away
with pride and guts
and a love in her heart
you'll never possess
when your puppet strings
rot and snap
Will anyone
wave goodbye
to you?
That would be
another yes,
man
