Always so prosperous
never failing to do
your very best.

From a generous window
you look down
on the town's
poorer quarters,
feeling blessed.

And then you
fall asleep
on the couch
once again.

As you open your eyes
you notice a cockroach
crawling 'cross the floor.

You get up, stumble to the door
that creaks when you open it
and look up a steep hill
on the other side of the river.

Now, what a grand mansion that is.
See how the sun rays are reflected
in that wide panel window.
