The Benevolent Millionaire

He disappears

in some god forsaken way

all juvenile from ignorance

whilst sipping champagne

and freebasing the shame

until he returns

from tortured travel

head in hands!

within days he's regrouped

to social awareness

the benevolent millionaire

and his lions share

of the day

staking claim to his life

and discarding the coat

from his bloodshot ways

the benevolent millionaire

lives to tell the tale

all penniless and free

until he finds who he really should be
