smiling down on its jesters.
it orders and alienates;
it whines and it pesters.
it scoffs at its foe,
sweet humility.
laughing and pointing
so heartily.
but practiced today
hour upon hour
goodwill and cheerfulness
it does quickly scour
so lock it away,
banish it to dark
i warn you don't let arrogance
make you its mark.
[11.13.09]
