The Rubbish Heap.

I sit on top of the heap

Surveying my kingdom beneath me.

Everything is there

That I need for my good life.

New jewels spread before me,

Every day.

I look around and find my subjects

Perusing the tip,

Eating this and that,

Taking morsels that I do not want,

Giving their lives to me,

To ensure that they give enough

For the feasts and pleasures that I will enjoy.

Without fear of recompense

I am the leader,

I govern this land.

Retribution will come their way

If they do not heed my laws!

The laws that ensure that

I will be richer than any other!

I have the power

To rule this rubbish heap,

That I know is my world.
