The rich poor man
I am but a rich man
Abundant to give,
but no one to receive
So wealthy, yet lonely
I am but a poor man
So lacking in everything,
with no one willing to give
So poor, still lonely
I am the king of beggers
Clothed in rags of filth
with the scent of agony
and the scent of emptiness
I am the lord of riches
with the finest of gems
Gems of loneliness
and gems of disappointment
Abundant to give,
but no one to receive
So wealthy, yet lonely
I am but a poor man
So lacking in everything,
with no one willing to give
So poor, still lonely
I am the king of beggers
Clothed in rags of filth
with the scent of agony
and the scent of emptiness
I am the lord of riches
with the finest of gems
Gems of loneliness
and gems of disappointment
