He thought with all his millions

He thought with the millions of stares he received

and photos on magazine covers

and magazines he used as blankets

elevated him to a kingly status.

demoted him to subhuman levels.

But one day he turned to see a beggar

One day he gazed at another suit

and recognized his worst fear

and realized his greatest hope

the man on his left was homeless, scum.

the man on his right was touted, loved.

Even worse, they would spend eternity together

Even better, they would always be equals

Six feet under the world.

Six feet under the world.
