Opinions of a Spectator
Let us raise our glasses to the arrogant,
To those sitting on their pedestal of pride
To those who bath in vanity, and
Strut with an egotistical state of mind
While the humble are left with empty flutes
Let us tip our hats to the deceivers
To those who waltz through life’s shortcuts
To those who have never slaved the day away and
Always manage to take credit where credit is not due
While the honest are not given a second glance
Let us bow to the miserly
To those who know nothing of poverty
To those who spend in spite, and
Flaunt their fortune with every passing sneer
While the penniless are left to grovel in the streets
Let us give praise to the selfish
To the malicious, to the cruel
And give pity to the state of humanity
