Leave

the Kings in their Kingdoms

and the Emperors in their Empires

Bring

the Poets and their portents

to the realms of desire

Scorn prophetic Prophets

with their commanding ire

Sing

jubilation for the mundane Messiah

and courting Celebrity

Mankind misfires

Jaded mirror

reflecting death

of a conscience

rotting moral fibre

hair shirt decayed

and frayed

at the edges of society

jaundiced cynicism?

Constructive criticism

worships at the altar

of Celebrity.

Column

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Demonised and vilified,

I worshipped and adored.

You lost your way and injured me,

betrayed, abused, ignored.

 

That pedestal was way too high,

for you to stay upright;

alas your world came tumbling down,

your reign fell overnight.

 

Naivety and ignorance,

fell from my tired eyes,

I see you for your human self,

you simply were not nice.
