With the wealthy and ranked
Even remote kin will gather
At short notice to pay respect
Because of plenty of money
And assets in their possession.
Yet from homes of poor slaves
And low-yield plodding toilers
Even relatives by blood depart
With no care of the youngsters,
Sisters and brothers they have.
Make haste! You must return
To your good self and start
Your own master to be.
They now recruit the worthies,
But their established office
Is still closed for such folks
Like you. It’s simply to no avail
To walk along the Wall Street,
In the only leather shoes, man,
You have on all the year round.
Remember, wolves like wolves
That gobble up sheep and deer
In one fell swoop and instantly.
