ODE TO AN INSUFFERABLE ADVOCATE


What are you able to build with your lies 

Integrity crumbles; trust withers and dies

Your boasts of endowment and feat

Beg Karma’s inscription on short term’s lease

From a charlatan’s pulpit you beat ire’s chest

Dragooning those of goodwill who decline your behest

Blow by blow, whack, thwack, wallop

Bellows the bark of narcissist’s trollop

Black and blue is the child whose parent you proffer

Contused the vocation that breeds leviathan’s toddler

But while the apathy in which you so charitably marinate

In the short term funds kindness and empathy’s wake

Tyranny’s engine will soon sputter and falter

Providence will not long suffer browbeating ogres

Crassness will never be civility’s pimp

So, say all those aggrieved by arrogance’s imp

Clutch vulgarity’s sledgehammer, grumble and growl

Humility’s quiet forever transcends provocation’s howl 

Justice’s blindfold is shriveling in sorrow

But peace and probity come tomorrow

Peace and probity come tomorrow
