A God in an Alcove

Go and look for the dejected
 Once proud idol remembered in stone aloud
 Then on coins his face was mirrored
 Take a look, it soon hath slithered
 To a fractured marble slab
 Renunciation clad
 His nourishment extract from his subjects
 That mass production profile
 He's a God in an alcove
 ♪
 Once he spread the rain
 So they dreamt in vain
 Once he spread the wheat
 Had made some garlands for his feet
 Until the lily poet of our times
 Horizoned on the line
 Love became the in theme then
 Opposing fakers thrice by ten
 Don't perceive his empty plea
 That redundant effigy
 He's a God in an alcove
 
 Take in view his empty stool
 What's left is satin cool
 Clawing adornment for his crimes
 They saw they had to draw the line
 So they sent him far away
 So they sent him far away
 To a little alcove
 To a little alcove all alone
 ♪
 He's a God, a God
 ♪
 Now I am silly
 ♪
 Now I am silly
 So silly, silly
 Silly, silly, silly, silly
 Silly, silly
