[image: image.png] hillbilly elegy by Aidan HaskelReal hillbillies don’t trust J.D. Vance I don’t need to mourn, and I don’t need to reflect Keep your elegy; let outsiders think they’re getting a peek Of an entirely new world – Of a language they’ll never speak
I grew up hearing my dad hack and cough Needing help to raise up in bed – from years and years spent in the coal mines My mama worked two jobs near the end of her life, but leave it to him to paint the region as lazy and spineless
A region that spans 13 states, All culturally diverse, all with their own history I’m sure it’s fun to imagine the lower class, slip on thrifted work boots and say you’ve walked a mile Make money from your self-righteous memoir
