“I Want The Golden World (The Sonnet)
No matter what you say,
I want the golden world.
To hell with the sayers of nay,
I keep working without reward.
You may have your comfort,
Enjoy all your luxuries futile.
For me there's no other joy,
Like making someone smile.
All you do is take and take,
Yet I have nothing against thee.
Just remember that one day,
You shall die of obesity.
Vegetables can mock all they want.
I shall die building the golden world.”
