Recipient
So qualified by demeanor
I stand in rank of lore
awaiting my redeemer
the indigent's encore!
The charity of others
Oh, how it does implore
to motivations standards
the reasoning of the poor!
Recipient, Oh my status
ingredients to restore
a corporate apparatus
does fit the Nation's floor!
The wonder of all reason
I'm needed by explore
of all those helpful millions
whose jobs demand a chore!
Recipient, Oh my culture
does classify my more,
a bracket's steady vulture
does garner my rapport!
Created for the rich man
exemplified by store,
so virtue is his dealing
as more is beggar's bore!
Recipient, my country
it's of thee I abhor
the fading in between sea,
that working man's adore!
Do shake me, that my born free
becomes the asking's score
embellished now as slavery
to corporate galore!
