Dignity
Every man, woman and child
passing through this world of ours
deserves
peace and compassion
love and affection
a full belly before bed each night
a roof under which to sleep
healthcare for anyone who ails at all
water and wine
feasts at holiday times
every one and all
deserves
dignity
Now anyone who thinks
all of this
is for
the privileged few
be they king or queen
or tyrant too
rest assured
they possess
no dignity at all
