Chances popped
With me on your table
To prepare as you pleased
Be with as you pleased
And eat as you pleased
But you decided the dustbin was my home
Mouths surrounding were indifferent
Knowing not my worth but staying safe in case…
The housekeeper looked and picked me
He decided I was too good a food to be eaten
So he polished and gave me wings
Now he reaps my worth
What you use to give him was peanut
I give him a hundred times what you have
And plenty smiles, now you seek to guard his gate
And find a way to steal me
Too bad my loyalty never wanes
So you have to deal with it
You might want to look
Look keenly like your life depend on it
Before you dispose of anything, anything you are offered
Lest you lose what could make you you
As one you deem worthy takes your chance
Legally and shines in your stead
