Chances popped

With me on your table

To prepare as you pleased

Be with as you pleased

And eat as you pleased

But you decided the dustbin was my home



Mouths surrounding were indifferent

Knowing not my worth but staying safe in case...

The housekeeper looked and picked me

He decided I was too good a food to be eaten

So he polished and gave me wings

Now he reaps my worth



What you used to give him was peanut

I give him a hundred times what you have

And plenty smiles, now you seek to guard his gate

And find a way to steal me

Too bad my loyalty never wanes

So you have to deal with it



You might want to look

Look keenly like your life depends on it

Before you dispose of anything, anything you are offered

Lest you lose what could make you you

As one you deem worthy takes your chance

Legally and shines in your stead
