SARCASM AND SATIRE

Sarcasm and satire?
What’s the difference?
Don’t ask me.
Hell, I just speak the words
that come out of my mouth.

I’m just a regular guy
making observations
who is too clever for his own good.

Sure, I make some good rhymes, sometimes,
and could have been a B-rate rapper
in another life.

And yeah, I describe life
from what the rich folk see
to what the poor folk see
to what people don’t just see
that sits between the lines.

And maybe I make some good points
here and there
and maybe I could have made
something of my skills somewhere

But that doesn’t mean there’s anything classy
about the things I say,
it’s just speech.
It’s just me saying
the things I see.

And if you think it’s Satire or Sarcasm
then the joke’s on you,
because what I say is just TRUTH.

On Dave (or more correctly, on "Upset", maybe on both -- some sentences on Dave and some sentences on Upset, since Upset is a persona).
Should be read in a high tone (but not falsetto, maybe tenor?) “it’s satire or sarcasm” in third last line would be “that’s satire or sarcasm” but it’s my poem not Dave speaking.
4th wall kind of stuff.
