You Are Dust by pauldesimple(m): 11:50am On Mar 09, 2013 |
'Do you know who I am?' Asked Mr. Sam 'Do you know who you are talking to? It's obvious you don't and I'll put you through The president is my brother His wife the daughter of the closest friend of my father The state governor Was once my neighbour The speaker house of representative Is a close relative The inspector general of police married my sister And the attorney general was once my school mother Still you are dust And that you shall return at last Of what use is your connection then When it can't hide your name from death's pen? What is the benefit of you pride When against death it can't be your guard? What is essence of your ego When the state is as ditto? So remember always that you are dust And that you shall return at last
