Persona Non Grata

Trodden down like shit underfoot

Be the downside to others upsides

Last one to the table - just starve

You'll get what you're given

This is set in stone from the ivory towers

Perception above all -

When you're face down in the dirt

Irreversibly persona non grata -

A figure off ill distinction

Persona non grata -

The place for blame diversion

No matter the plaudits I earn

The whoring and scoring for points

To strive to be superficial

I'll live by your status

This is knowing your place beneath the ivory towers

Not a going concern

But a lowly beast of burden
