Did I Know

Rating: 4.0


My mother's litter
Had a dozen and one
But did I know I had no brother
Until adversity drained my bone

My parlor was always full of friends
There for reasons they prize
Not after I shed the garb of office
Did I know no friend of solace

My neighborhood is full of millions
But did I know I had no country
Until the gale of falsehood by minions
Made propriety a capital crime

My treasury is full of accolades
Prizes and honors of highest grade
But did I know integrity was of no value
Until I heard society acclaim crooks noble

My memory is loaded with myriad worry
Of a promising polity fluff its glory
But did I know a day will soon come
When a savior will make good our home
