As richness places I, I was to be rich
Rich, rich, rich, beyond one's wildest dream
As a man, I was to be rich in status standing
Standing free, wealthy and rich as status be
And to be that rich only warrants
The thirst of perpetual stay, of course I concur
Putting my weight of gain and health and all
And all my chips on such status standing
I concur, no one in their rightful mind would want
To see the end of good stead, if expectation perish
Is made void, quitting while one is ahead is only
In anticipation of a down turn in status standing
And if that is an affair of the consequence of wealth
Then thus is void in this scenario stated, and quitting
Is a concept alien to proceedings as proceedings go
To thus maintaining t’ status quo as status standing
Though one as human with weakness of mortality
This is one battle for now even the richest of men
Can not win, not yet, though Benny Ecclestone and Paul McCarty
Would wish so, quicker, as Jackson once did in status stand
A proposal then to be made, in cometh the time capsule
Dry freeze and hibernated in a mid-state of death as sleep
As a compromise to science's shortfall to be awaken
In a thousand years time in status stand
Would I still be relevant like E.T 's cool
Keeping up with the Jones as they do
Like Shakespeare and Charles Dickens
In status stand, the time capsules and me
Lovely poem!
ReplyDeleteI like this. Something Sokratean about it that keeps knocking on my brains backdoor.
