Palace of Laziness

We're the worthless one The world has no place for us Street is our business Under bridges is our palace Palace of laziness Addressed and mocked by the privileged We were name without ceremony Wayward, beggars, lunatic, fool… Yet they can do without us We are less privileged but we’re not less important The fortunate are fortune in chain Newspapers bear witness of untold wealth We are materially deformed not mentally deformed We are agree to be poor for them to be rich The just shall judge the unjust There is hope against hope Our mouth, hand, brain are fertile There is a hidden talent therein We are judged by what they see We worth more than their foresight Amidst us talent has buttered our bread Akon, African China, Wande Coal, are our testimonies At all state we are vital Poor state we protect their life at our expense Our talents graze their occasion We are not worth-less We are king in the palace of laziness yet busy to entertain We are beggars yet command your blessing You need us more than your worth
