Beggars's Status Quo



So, he asked them to bend over and they did
He knew all they had was heads filled with sewer liquid
I don’t mean to be mean but yes, they were all stupid
He asked them to play dead for the late night show
But to please him they actually died on the stage!
The next crew was a cluster of idiots from Stone Age
They read the white blank book page by page
And when they came across “Aaarrrggh!” his rage
They ran like headless chickens. No! They ran Like Hell
Another group of imbecile buffoons did the same as well
They later had a “turning point” realization of his magic spell
His vast wealth, his Money and his ultimate power,
His knowledge - Something they knew nothing about
Not even street smart! They were all life lessons-dropouts!
He delayed their peanut salaries but they still stayed
He broke their legs but they still danced to the tunes he played
Too ignorant to notice that a soul for fifty shillings is not a fair trade
They filled his Jacuzzi with their painful tears and sweat
They painted red roses on his walls with their blood
Just to show his gratitude he fed them rotten spud
They addressed him as Sir or even better, Master
Some of them were peasants. Even worse, beggars!
He laughed at the popping sounds of their blisters
They joined in with (we are used to this) laughter
They were stupid but good actors. They suffered!
Beggars’ status quo, beggars down on their dry knees
Beggars’ dictionary, defined him as the only help
And their favorite words were Sir, please!
