…And in life there is so much more besides

than the way you present yourself to the mass media tribes

for the way you come across, capable of mass-homicides,

you have to see, that you are the very worst of scribes.

The shuffle of insistence that where is spelt were

and that a book is written where a sentence will do

makes me believe you would spit feathers and set fire to fur

just to make an essay of a point, to see the waste of ink through.

The beady, swivelling eyes that are set in place

are joined by arrogance, foolish pride

and the self important act you offer, the ego without the id,

without any sign of humility etched within your face

and the reams of anger, burning inside

makes me feel sorry for you, as I would any tantrum filled kid.
