"...but not anymore"

Mower of the Endless Lawns I would rather live poor than die rich on my knees For the rest of my life I would live as I please And by rich on my knees I do not mean in prayer But in servitude as once the rich kept me there Where I could only stand to half my height because Though shorter I stood taller than the rich man was Which was unheard of that a nobody like me Should notice that certain illegitimacy Without making the illegitimate nervous And rocking the boat of my indentured service Though I am not a stableboy I was before Mower of the endless lawns but not anymore +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
