pelf

like beggar scrambling on the ground for paltry pelf
thrown by those with wealth to watch the destitute dance
for a penny

so I was for love

no more

pauperized
I'll count my coin in other currency than gilt and guilt
enumerate opulence by any other measure
or starve before I gambol at their gambles
