FANTASY
AMBROSIA
Your life began in fantasy
and raised you were as royalty
in uptown chic and finery
Atherton pomp and ceremony
unscathed by my reality
Then worlds collided magically
and conqueror saw colony
but though I came from poverty
my pride I hold implacably
big wallets changed my history
but death alone my dignity
so, kill my memory peacefully
for you have been...long dead to me.
M. Obadiah
