viz Rothschild face of gold
conspicuous consumer
died like any beggar
once went to his vault
for money speculation
trapped inside
all doors were closing on him
seven days of hunger sucked
blood from his own fingers
Rothschild Rothschild
strutted before kings
he said he couldn't die
of hunger
ended like the rest
he lies there
broken into pieces
bag of bones
