On a Silver Platter

On a Silver Platter


You are exceedingly happy
To share yourself with the world
Served up on a silver platter

While I'm expected to eat
The scraps that fall off the plate
Onto the floor

The unsavoury bits left over
Unwanted by any one else
You should know

... I'm not that hungry
