№ 472: A Rich Man Reflects On Mor(t)ality

If you wish to murder an enemy,
you had damn well better be rich.
Otherwise, you could face untoward consequences
after killing the son of a bitch.

It is not just that we rich folk
ignore the wrong arm of the law.
It's more the law is an in-joke
to ensure the poor respect force majeure.

The Gospel of Matthew* is said to imply
in heaven the last shall be first (😂).
My legal team tells me that is a lie. . .
like the myth the meek shall inherit the Earth.

When I ascend 
God shall sit by my side!
(Or he'll be sorry
that he let me die.)
