To those who are high and mighty:

For those who fall down low from high places,
How difficult it is for them to learn the language
Of humility, poverty, and servility.
They must learn to meet the eyes that reject them,
And say "Thank you" to whatever fate offers them.
They must learn to bow their heads and genuflect,
And learn to let insults pass, and to smile like a simpleton.
Yes, Mr. and Mrs. High & Mighty,
This could even happen to you.
