The Smug Bastard

He marched in triumph

at the head of his men

basking unjustly in adulation

aimed at the deeds performed

by his troops,

the smug bastard

His chest puffed out

like a carrier pigeon

selfish eyes seeking

to be sanctioned

by female admirers,

Fueled by rage,
I'm in a cage,
I'm ready to go off,
Like a fuckin' 12 gauge,

Your bullshit and your lies,
I really despise,
You're nothing but a fake,
You can't fool the wise,
You left me to hang,
You left me to dry,
So watch me succeed,

Blind - vacuous and vapid, my rapid descent
Into madness was sealed, with gladness
The concealed face of my own lot was lost
And the cost of this deception was total,
Brutal at the very point of inception...

Damocles

the striking serpent

in my left

hisses and spits

Assssssad

the rabid wolf

in my right

froths and foams

for freedom

and either of these

sly predators

could have delivered

the fatal bite

that caused parents

and children

to weep blister

burn and die

a black man

with skin of grey

and eyes bloodshot
