They cannot help themselves,

From exalting class and purity above others;

For they are grand and they are Titus, and we are mere maggots under their soles


It is wrong to assume that they exist exclusively

For we can also see them daily,

Walking down the road and drinking the same tap and smiling,

A generous eye to each fellow but hides the exaltation from plain sight.


Never apparent, never brave

But guile enough to misbehave, contrary to our acceptance;

Us who are maggots under their soles

Beware, beware my little one

No matter how big you are, you are a slave

From the masters that never gave, for they are golden and shall never

Ever be neither faulty nor unclean


They cannot help themselves,

Because their mirrors are so clear and their minds so bright that they are the light

Blinding themselves and absorbing their own grace

Celebrated by tiny successes of stepping and crushing the maggots under their soles


No doubt they will climb that ladder,

Above us maggots, and offer us a helping hand with a strong stomach

Tolerating our filth and our stench that irritates their sensibilities


And to why would someone so self-exalted be seemingly pungent like the maggots is beyond me

That it is only this specie that deceives the echelons it's true face

Would we come to realize that civilization is superficial


They are not their brother's keepers, and they cannot help themselves

For they are grand and they are Titus, and we are mere maggots under their soles


That unless true bravery will recognize their indulgences

Their guile will know no bounds and humanity is senseless

Becausethey cannot help themselves, equality regardless
